...ng as we can hide the lower devices. That's what I said "to keep the potential to support both" models. But we should not go further along to assume the other aspect ie. to get PV accelerated whenever possible, but not to get VF migrated whenever possible. That's essetially a big diveregence of the priority for the goal we'd want to pursue. -Siwei > > Anything else isn't well supported and I'm not sure we > should complicate code too much to support it. > >> >> > >> >> What about migration of vfio devices that are not easily replaced...

They just want things to go fast. Rephrasing requirements in terms of acceleration actually made things impl...
