I didn't see a kernel part change implementing the new KABI. If there is, can you point out? btw how is this work related to previous effort on adding live migration to VFIO? https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-04/msg01134.html https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/libvir/msg170669.html Thanks Kevin
