I think it's better not to limit the device behaviour like flush or
in_order here. This may simplify the work for adding inflight
descriptor support.

For the device that doesn't care about the inflight descriptor, this
patch is sufficient for doing live migration.
For the device that requires an inflight descriptor, this patch is
insufficient, it requires future extension to get those descriptors.
In this case, device has the flexibility to flush or not so:

1) if we don't get any inflight descriptors, the device may do the flush before
2) if we get inflight descriptors, we need to restore them
