The fundamental assumption of this patch series is to modify the driver in
guest to self-emulate or track the device state, so that the migration may be
possible.
I don't think we can modify OS, without modifying the drivers, even using the
PCIe hotplug mechanism.
In the meantime, modifying Windows OS is a big challenge given that only
Microsoft can do. While, modifying driver is relatively simple and manageable
to device vendors, if the device vendor want to support state-clone based
migration.
Thx Eddie
