This works and is a keeper. I do not need mode to exclude 
savevm_block_handlers.  However, 
I still need mode and mode_mask so my vfio vmstate handler is only applied for 
the VMS_RESTART
mode.  I could instead iterate through the vfio devices and do something 
special on save
and load, but the mode_mask is cleaner and could have more uses in the future.  
Do you agree?
