The lbr stack is architecturally specific, for example, SKX has 32 lbr

entries.
How do you handle live migration?

This feature is gated by the QEMU "lbr=true" option.
So if the lbr fails to work on the destination machine,
the destination side QEMU wouldn't be able to boot,
and migration will not happen.

Best,
