Hm, well I just saved/restored a 750MB PV guest and a 750MB HVM guest okay
with xen-unstable tip. However I think the above type-checking code may only
have been introduced for HVM guests as of Jan Beulich's recent changeset
21615. If your guest is an HVM guest, perhaps this changeset is to blame? I
would suggest reverting it and re-testing. I've cc'ed Jan in case he can
comment on the info you've given.
you were right about the c/s 21615. I did try reverting it and it was
working fine to both save and restore when I was having this patch reverted.
Okay, Jan should be ebale to help then. We don't really want to revert that
changeset as it is itself a bugfix.

Jan, as we were solving this with Keir on the list I was unable to save the HVM guest properly and reverting your c/s 21615 helped and with your patch reverted it was working fine. Any idea why there were so type failures for all the pages of HVM guest?

Thanks,
Michal
