The bs_snapshots global variable points to the BlockDriverState which will be used to save vmstate. This is really a savevm.c concept but was moved into block.c:bdrv_snapshots() when it became clear that hotplug could result in a dangling pointer. While auditing the block layer's global state I came upon bs_snapshots and realized that a variable is not necessary here. Simply find the first BlockDriverState capable of internal snapshots each time this is needed. The behavior of bdrv_snapshots() is preserved across hotplug because new drives are always appended to the bdrv_states list. This means that calling the new find_vmstate_bs() function is idempotent - it returns the same BlockDriverState unless it was hot-unplugged.
