MultiFDPacket_t.offset is allocated to store MultiFDPages_t.offset.

It would be better to use the same type.

This needs a comment, but it is on purpose.  We want that the value on
the wire to be the same for any architecture.  (Migration stream is
supposed to be architecture independent).  ram_addr_t is architecture
dependent.
