In QOM(QEMU Object Model) migrated objects are identified with instance_id
which is calculated automatically using their path in the QOM composition
tree. For some objects, this path could change from source to target in
migration. To migrate such objects, we need to make sure the instance_id does
not change from source to target. We add a hook in DeviceClass to do customized
instance_id calculation in such cases.

As a result, in these cases compat will not be set in the concerned
SaveStateEntry. This will prevent the inconsistent idstr to be sent over in
migration. We could have set alias_id in a similar way. But that will be
overloading the purpose of alias_id.

The first application will be setting instance_id for DRC using its unique
index. Doing this makes the instance_id of DRC to be consistent across migration
and supports flexible management of DRC objects in migration.
