You can't. None of the tables that are written by either the ITS or the
redistributors are architected. All you know is that there is one bit
per vLPI, but that's it (you don't even know which one is which).

But that's not a big deal. I don't think you can realistically migrate a
VM that has a directly assigned device anyway. Or can we?

Thanks,
