You changed the migration stream name, so I think we have
a problem with migration... No clue how to do that properly.

I don't think these machines support migration or state description of
vt86c686b was not missing something before these patches that would make
it not work anyway so I did not worry about this too much. I doubt
anybody wants to migrate a fuloong2e machine so this should not be a
problem in practice but maybe you can mention it in the release notes if
you think that would be necessary.

Maybe just add in the description:

 This change breaks migration back compatibility, but
 this is not an issue for the Fuloong2E machine.

Hrm.  If migration was never supported, why is there a vmstate
description there at all though?

That said, I don't think breaking compat is a problem: that's only an
issue where we actually have versioned machine types, which covers
only pc, pseries, arm virt and a very few others.  I don't think this
device was used on any of them.

Except 'vt82c686b-usb-uhci' is a generic PCI device that anyone can
instantiate, so it's not actually Fuloong specific.

This is the isa bridge part of vt82c686b which should not be used anywhere else than fuloong2e and should not change the usb part.

That the usb-uhci part of this chip appears in the PCI device list may be a bug as that's not much useful without the rest of the superio chip but fixing that is beyond this patch I think. There's no reason one would want to use vt82c686-usb device on a machine without the vt82c686 chip instead or another uhci device matching the hardware of that machine.

I've updated the commit message as Philippe suggested.

BALATON Zoltan
