It is not possible to live migrate a guest which has a PCI device passed
through to it.

However you can use PCI hotplug to unplug a device right before
migration and reintroduce another (possibly even different) device at
the other end. This requires hotplug to be correctly configured in your
guest to load the right drivers etc in response to hotplug events.
