Since QEMU 2.4, the migration stream begins with a configuration section.
It is known to break migration of pseries machine from older QEMU. It is
possible to fix this in the pseries compat code but it will then break
migration of old pseries from latest QEMU.
As an alternative, this patch introduces a new machine property which
allows to ignore the abscence of configuration section during incoming
migration. It boils to adding:
-machine config-section=off
Using this property only makes sense when migrating from an older
QEMU. It has no effect on outgoing migration.
