Commit 5a8a49d7aa says:
# if we load from a snapshot, the machine can be in any state. That can
# cause troubles if loading an older image which does not carry all state
# information the executing QEMU requires. Hardly any device takes care of
# this scenario.
I think it's also easier to reason about devices if you know that the
device before a load was in a known clean state rather than being
anything at all.
