I don't like dynamically modifying all the vmsds.
Aren't you going to have to understand each devices reset behaviour
and make sure it does something sane? e.g. it might have a postload
that registers a timer or something that you wouldn't want to do if it's
in reset.
The easiest way is to write a macro that you can easily add to devices
you've checked subsection list (like the way we have a
VMSTATE_USB_DEVICE).
