I never pretended to be fair! ;-)
I'm happy to prevent migrating from a v4.1 system (A) to a v4.0
system (B). As soon as the guest has run, it isn't safe to do so
(it may have read TYPER2, and now knows about vSGIs). We *could*
track this and find ways to migrate this state as well, but it
feels fragile.
Migrating from B to A is more appealing. It should be possible to
do so without much difficulty (just check that the nASSGIcap bit
is either 0 or equal to KVM's view of the capability).
But overall I seriously doubt we can easily migrate guests across
very different HW. We've been talking about this for years, and
we still don't have a good solution for it given the diversity
of the ecosystem... :-/
Thanks,
M.
