On the networking front you need to view the pass-through device and the libvirt VNIC as a team.
If you make it an either/or situation you will *never* be able to migrate a VM that has a pass-through device currently assigned to it,
So you need to fail-over to the virtual device, migrate, then fail-over to the direct device on the new host (if available).

I actually described this nearly five years ago:
