No, that's not what's in the patch.

Please look at the patch again - it turns the one-ifdef block into two
nested ifdefs. So therefore it is my understanding that - in lack of
unmigratable VMSDs this patch - possibly temporarily, not all patches
have arrived yet - changes the migration format in an odd way. In that
case we should consider reordering the patch within the series.
