The documentation does not make that super clear. A typical set call
in the KVM API let's you go to any state, not just a subset of states.
Yes, this works in the common case of migrating a VM to a particular
target, once. I find the behavior of the current API surprising. I
prefer APIs that are unsurprising. If I were to not have read the
code, it would be very easy for me to have assumed it worked like a
normal set call. You could rename the ioctl something like
"CLEAR_BITS", but a set based API is more common.
