This one has to be fixed up to 's390x: vmstatify config migration for
virtio-ccw' provided we want to achieve the same as 's390x/css: catch
section mismatch on load' does.

This is on tom of 's390x: vmstatify config migration for virtio-ccw'
which ain't on top of 's390x/css: catch section mismatch on load' but on
top of master.  I kind of have a circular dependency here. This is why
the series is RFC. 

Wanted to provide an usage example. Faked 'Re: ' so patchew does not
try to apply this on top of current master.

That's ok, but I suggest:
   * 'bug' rather than 'design flaw' - it sounds a bit less scary to
     endusers.

Other than that,

I do not think it can be changed now. Christian as already sent out a pull
request for the patch this series is re-doing with vmstate.  That patch has the
same error message. I have considered bug but decided against because
the 'bug' can't be fixed. I think it's pretty hard to hit this with normal
usage (and that's probably the reason why it went undetected until recently),
so hope not too may endusers are going to get scared by developer honesty :).

No problem; it's your device anyway :-)

If we are being politically correct:
