migration: Hack to maintain backwards compatibility for ppc

Current code does:
- register pre_2_10_vmstate_dummy_icp with "icp/server" and instance
  dependinfg on cpu number
- for newer machines, it register vmstate_icp with "icp/server" name
  and instance 0
- now it unregisters "icp/server" for the 1st instance.

This is wrong at many levels:
- we shouldn't have two VMSTATEDescriptions with the same name
- In case this is the only solution that we can came with, it needs to
  be:
  * register pre_2_10_vmstate_dummy_icp
  * unregister pre_2_10_vmstate_dummy_icp
  * register real vmstate_icp

Created vmstate_replace_hack_for_ppc() with warnings left and right
that it is a hack.
