- We need to have good error reporting in the callbacks in
VMStateDescription struct. Specifically pre_save, pre_load
and post_load callbacks.
- It is not possible to change these functions everywhere in one
patch, therefore, we introduce a duplicate set of callbacks
with Error object passed to them.
- So, in this commit, we implement 'errp' variants of these callbacks,
introducing an explicit Error object parameter.
- This is a functional step towards transitioning the entire codebase
to the new error-parameterized functions.
- Deliberately called in mutual exclusion from their counterparts,
to prevent conflicts during the transition.
- New impls should preferentally use 'errp' variants of
these methods, and existing impls incrementally converted.
The variants without 'errp' are intended to be removed
once all usage is converted.
