The term we generally use is 'guest transparent live migration', in
which the additional word addresses that potential ambiguity. We thus
have GT migration in addition to SR (suspend/resume) migration.

Perhaps it's just familiarity, but I very much prefer that to
'oblivious' (guests aren't necessary oblivious to it; they just aren't
required to *do* anything). and to 'non-cooperative' which for me is
too easy to conflate with 'uncooperative' and might cause an inference
that it's for guests which have done something *wrong*.
