+Virtio devices and migration
+============================
+
+Copyright 2015 IBM Corp.
+
+This work is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL, version 2 or later.  See
+the COPYING file in the top-level directory.
+
+Saving and restoring the state of virtio devices is a bit of a twisty maze,
+for several reasons:
+- state is distributed between several parts:
+  - virtio core, for common fields like features, number of queues, ...
+  - virtio transport (pci, ccw, ...), for the different proxy devices and
+    transport specific state (msix vectors, indicators, ...)
+  - virtio device (net, blk, ...), for the different device types and their
+    state (mac address, request queue, ...)
+- most fields are saved via the stream interface; subsequently, subsections
+  have been added to make cross-version migration possible
+
+This file attempts to document the current procedure and point out some
+caveats.
+

+
+
+Implications of this setup
+==========================
+
+Devices need to be careful in their state processing during load: The
+load_device() procedure is invoked by the core before subsections have
+been loaded. Any code that depends on information transmitted in subsections
+therefore has to be invoked in the device's load() function _after_
+virtio_load() returned (like e.g. code depending on features).
+
+Any extension of the state being migrated should be done in subsections
+added to the core for compatibility reasons. If transport or device specific
+state is added, core needs to invoke a callback from the new subsection.
