You mean, each device would have multiple sections? We already use chunks for each device state.
If they want to, yes.
We only migrate things that are guest visible. Everything else is left to the user to configure. We wouldn't migrate the state of a RNG emulation provided that it doesn't have an impact on the guest.
The project doing lockstep virtualization would need to migrate it, for example.
By definition, anything that is guest visible is important because it affects the guest's behavior.
Yes, but vendors want backwards-compatibility whenever possible. Anything that is guest visible is important, but some things are less important than others (or they wouldn't have been overlooked in the first place).
