It is not possible to support live migration using direct assignment of VF's to a guest, but 'passthu' assignment makes this possible. Enabling this feature requires the following patch to iproute2 that allows creating macvlan device in 'passthru' mode. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/69515/ Looks like this patch is still marked as 'Awaiting upstream'. Could you apply this patch and it would be great if a version of iproute2 is released for 2.6.38.
