Thread-topic: HVM Save/Restore status.
My "disk-stress" tests have the following status:
1. SLES 9.3 using VNC as display has run for over 23 virtual hours, some
40 or so hours since I set off the test without any failures. There's
one difference between this test and previous ones: I've disabled the
blanking of the screen - there appears to be a problem waking the screen
after some time, not sure why that would be. 

2. "Simple-guest" fails to restore on the second restore, ending up with
the guest "killed". Scanning the xend.log, I find "error zeroing magic
pages". Looking further down that path, it seems like it's failing to do
"xc_map_foreign_range"... I'm adding some debug output to try to
determine where it goes wrong here. 


I'm going to concentrate on this to see if I can track down where the
simple-guest fails first, then look at why blanking the screen makes
things go wrong.

I will also try with SDL once I've rebooted the system with a newer Xen
build.
