Of course there may be and OS. As soon as the VF is live Linux
will by default bind to it. And that's the big problem here,
the VF should not actually exist or at least not be usable when
such a restore happens - or to say it in NVMe terms, the Secondary
Controller better be in offline state when state is loaded into it.
