Is there any way to also get a pre_migrate callback with register_device_unmigratable?
I'd like to send a VSC_Reconnect message, then the guest sees an unplug, then migration,
then (no plug yet since the device is marked as auto_attach=0) client reconnects
(actually this happens before but to a paused machine waiting for migration), and then
causes attachement, same as a new machine.
