Nit: I'd add "mandatory for VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_MIGRATION migration
support" to both descriptions to be a bit more explicit.

I'm having trouble parsing this. I think what it tries to say is that at
least one of the flags defined below must be set?

What about the following instead:

"Indicates device support for the migration API through
VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_MIG_DEVICE_STATE. If present, the RUNNING and ERROR
states are always supported. Support for additional states is indicated
via the flags field; at least one of the flags defined below must be
set."
