older QEMUs complain like when migrating a 2.9 machine to 2.9
qemu-system-s390x: Failed to load s390-flic/ais:tmp
qemu-system-s390x: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device
's390-flic'
qemu-system-s390x: load of migration failed: Function not implemented
e.g. when using the host model.
