PVE/QemuServer.pm:

    my $driver_state_size = 32; # assume 32MB is enough to safe all driver state;
    my $size = $conf->{memory} + $driver_state_size;

We still stop the VM for a short period, and I think vm_stop() flush all driver cache.

no, this is just for the state file itself.

why not? It is basically the same code as used for live migration.

But yes, we need to carefully test it ;-)
