The fundamental assumption of this patch series is to modify the driver in guest to self-emulate or track the device state, so that the migration may be possible.
I don't think we can modify OS, without modifying the drivers, even using the PCIe hotplug mechanism.
In the meantime, modifying Windows OS is a big challenge given that only Microsoft can do. While, modifying driver is relatively simple and manageable to device vendors, if the device vendor want to support state-clone based migration.
