Just to note this approach is actually device by device *type*. It's
mostly device agnostic for a given device type so you can migrate
between hosts with very different hardware.
And support for more PV device types has other advantages
such as security and forward compatibility to future hosts.
Finally, it all can happen mostly within QEMU. User is currently
required to enable it but it's pretty lightweight.
OTOH vfio migration generally requires actual device-specific work, and
only works when hosts are mostly identical. When they aren't it's easy
to blame the user, but tools for checking host compatiblity are
currently non-existent. Upper layer management will also have to learn
about host and device compatibility wrt migration. At the moment they
can't even figure it out wrt software versions of vhost in kernel and
dpdk so I won't hold my breath for all of this happening quickly.
