There is really no difference between live migration and savevm, except
that savevm does not require bdrv_invalidate_cache to be implemented
by all disks.  However, it is unlikely that savevm is used with anything
except qcow2 disks, so the penalty is small and worth the improvement
in catching bad usage of savevm.

Only one place was taking care of savevm when adding a migration blocker,
and it can be removed.

OK, I'm not sure if it was actually a split between savevm and migration
or just that the migration blockers were added later.

So that means vmstate_x86_cpu can be static now - but why does it live
in machine.c rather than cpu.c ?

Just curious why returning false here when the returning type is "int"

Best,

Just the latter, I think.

Generally all vmstate lives in machine.c.  Just historical reasons, it
was moved out of vl.c (!) many moons ago.
