I guess it depends on what you report as your dev default state.

For HiSilicon ACC migration driver, we set the default to _RUNNING.

And when the migration starts, the destination side Qemu, set the
device state to _RESUMING(vfio_load_state()).

From the documentation, it looks like the assumption on default state of
the VFIO dev is _RUNNING.

"
* 001b => Device running, which is the default state
"

Yes. And if I change the default state to _STOP, then the transition
is from _STOP --> _RESUMING.

But the documentation on State transitions doesn't have _STOP --> _RESUMING
transition as valid.
