Yes

I've deleted mdev ops in every driver except the intel vgpu, once
Christoph's patch there is merged mdev ops will be almost gone
completely.

mdev drivers now implement normal vfio_device_ops and require nothing
special for migration.

All vfio operations on the device FD operate on whatever the struct
vfio_device is.
