At least for the mlx5 NIC the two states are 'able to issue outbound
DMA' and 'all internal memories and state are frozen and unchanging'.
The later means it should not respond/count/etc to network packets
either.
Roughly it is
'able to mutate external state' / 'able to mutate internal state'
The invariant should be that successive calls to serialize the
internal state while frozen should return the same serialization.
We may find that migratable PCI functions must have some limited
functionality. Ie anything with a realtime compoment - for instance a
sync-ethernet clock synchronization control loop, may become
challenging to migrate without creating a serious functional
distortion.
