We should not be loading state into a different device (or a similar device 
with a different set of capabilities).

If you want to provide backwards compatibility then you should do that by 
creating a device that is the same as the original.  As I mentioned in my 
earlier mail, loading a snapshot should never do anything that can not be 
achieved through normal operation.
