So... what would you expect service down wise for the following solution which is zero touch and I think should work for any VF driver: on host A: unplug the VM and conduct live migration to host B ala the no-SRIOV case. on host B: when the VM "gets back to live", probe a VF there with the same assigned mac next, udev on the VM will call the VF driver to create netdev instance DHCP client would run to get the same IP address + under config directive (or from Qemu) send Gratuitous ARP to notify the switch/es on the new location for that mac.
