The whole mig_ops handling seems rather ad-hoc to me.  What tells a
developer when mig_ops can be set?  Can they be unset?  Does this
enable a device feature callout to dynamically enable migration?  Why do
we init the device with vfio_device_ops, but then open code per driver
setting vfio_migration_ops?

For the hisi_acc changes, they're specifically defining two device_ops,
one for migration and one without migration.  This patch oddly makes
them identical other than the name and doesn't simplify the setup path,
which should now only require a single call point for init-device with
the proposed API rather than the existing three.

If we remove the migration callbacks from vfio_device_ops, there's also
an opportunity that we can fix the vfio_device_ops.name handling in
hisi_acc, where the only current user of this is to set the driver
override for spawned VFs from a vfio owned PF.  This is probably
irrelevant for this driver, but clearly we have an expectation there
that name is the name of the module providing the ops and we have no
module named hisi-acc-vfio-pci-migration.  Thanks,

Alex
