Ok. I just tried with a Fedora 12 (rawhide) PV guest. I was able to 
"xm save" and "xm restore" it without problems. 

But I noticed there was a BUG printed on the guest console:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/debug/dmesg-2.6.31.5-122.fc12.x86_64-saverestore.txt

More information about my setup:

Host/dom0: Fedora 12 (latest rawhide) with included Xen 3.4.1-5 and
custom 2.6.31.5 x86_64 pv_ops dom0 kernel (a couple of days old).

Guest/domU: Fedora 12 (latest rawhide) with the included/default
2.6.31.5-122.fc12.x86_64 kernel.
