+Migration of VFIO devices consists of two phases: the optional pre-copy phase,
+and the stop-and-copy phase. The pre-copy phase is iterative and allows to
+accommodate VFIO devices that have a large amount of data that needs to be
+transferred. The iterative pre-copy phase of migration allows for the guest to
+continue whilst the VFIO device state is transferred to the destination, this
+helps to reduce the total downtime of the VM. VFIO devices opt-in to pre-copy
+support by reporting the VFIO_MIGRATION_PRE_COPY flag in the
+VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_MIGRATION ioctl.
Note that currently VFIO migration is supported only for a single device. This
is due to VFIO migration's lack of P2P support. However, P2P support is planned
