Can you elaborate the use case "for normal operations"? Then it has 
nothing to do with LM for sure, correct?

Noted for the LM case, just as Jason indicated, it's not even *required* 
for the mgmt software to gather the device features through "vdpa dev 
show" on source host *alive* right before live migration is started. 
Depending on the way how it is implemented, the mgmt software can well 
collect device capability on boot strap time, or may well save the vdpa 
device capability/config in persistent store ahead of time, say before 
any VM is to be launched. Then with all such info collected for each 
cluster node, mgmt software is able to get its own way to infer and sort 
out the live migration compatibility between nodes. I'm not sure which 
case you would need to check the device features, but in case you need 
it, it'd be better live in "vdpa dev show" than "vdpa dev config show".
