Without this live migration with dinamic routing software (ospf with quagga or bird) bring packet drops.

Why not add ability to specify device state from host side? If attribute is empty think that device is up. This is reasonable default. I'm use link status when vm running, for example if we have ddos - I down tap and via ospf route deleted and traffic blackholed.
