[RFC PATCH v3 10/19] fix live-migration when "populated=on" is missing

[Vasilis Liaskovitis]

Live migration works after memory hot-add events, as long as the
qemu command line "-dimm" arguments are changed on the destination host
to specify "populated=on" for the dimms that have been hot-added.

If a command-line change has not occured, the destination host does not yet
have the corresponding ramblock in its ram_list. Activate the dimm on the
destination during ram_load.

Perhaps several fields of the DimmDevice should be part of a
VMStateDescription to handle migration in a cleaner way. But the problem
is that ramblocks are checked before qdev vmstates.
