charset="utf-8" We used to have one vmstate called "nullptr" which is only used to generate one-byte hint to say one pointer is NULL. Let's extend its use so that it will generate another byte to say the pointer is non-NULL. With that, the name of the info struct (or functions) do not apply anymore. Update correspondingly. No functional change intended yet.
