QEMU keeps the state of memory of dimm device during live migration,
however, it is not enough for nvdimm device as its memory does not
contain its label data, so that we should protect the whole backend
memory instead

In Patch 1 you introduced a callback to get the guest-visible memory
region.  Instead of mentioning NVDIMM in generic pc-dimm.c code, it
would be cleaner to add another callback to get the vmstate memory
region:

   .get_guest_memory_region() - Patch 1
   .get_vmstate_memory_region() - a new patch in this series


It is good to me, will do it. Thanks!
