To preserve the panic state if guest panic happens in the midway of
migration.

> Is it possible to overcome this limitation?
It's successful to load images without support for runstate information,
but trying to set run state to RUN_STATE_PRELAUNCH(the default value of
saved_run_state), which is invalid. The problem can be solved by setting
the default value of saved_run_state to RUN_STATE_RUNNING.
