From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilb...@redhat.com> We fairly regularly forget VMSTATE_END_OF_LIST markers off descriptions; given that the current check is only for ->name being NULL, sometimes we get unlucky and the code apparently works and no one spots the error.
Explicitly add a flag, VMS_END that should be set, and assert it is set during the traversal. Note: This can't go in until we update the copy of vmstate.h in slirp.
