[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/9] virtio-serial-bus: save/load: Ensure nr_ports on src and dest are same.

[Amit Shah]

The number of ports on the source as well as the destination machines
should match. If they don't, it means some ports that got hotplugged on
the source aren't instantiated on the destination. Or that ports that
were hot-unplugged on the source are created on the destination.
