SCSI block device timeouts post-migration on x86_64 linux guests

Per subject. Observed on kvm-83 through kvm-85; haven't traced back 
further. No longer occurs when switching to IDE. Manifests with messages 
similar to the following on restore:

Charles,

There's no savevm handler at all:

$ grep register_savevm hw/lsi53c895a.c

There was an incomplete patch posted to qemu-devel a while ago, which I
can't find.

Ahh! Thank you for the explanation.

I'm guessing that would be "[PATCH] save/restore for LSI SCSI", by Nolan
