No, because this is hardware migration.  It migrates the whole machine
including the hardware state (e.g. the video card, or the USB controller).

Something like that is done by OpenVZ containers.

For offline migration of physical servers to KVM virtual machines, look
at virt-p2v (http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v/).
