This patch modifies the behavior of memory_region_allocate_system_memory, when the new shared memory backend is used from a slave qemu instance. In such case there is not yet a valid pointer for the memory region pointed by the backend (it will be innitilized later when received from the master.) and vmstate_register would fail.
The patch skips the call to vmstate_register in case of slave shared memory backend, that will be performed later after the actual memory pointer is available.
