Yeah, there was some changes in Xen 3.4.x, and those cause the migration to
fail with GPLPV drivers. GPLPV migration works with earlier Xen versions.

Oracle developers confirmed the workaround makes their Windows PV drivers 
work ok with Xen 3.4.x:

And:

So hopefully James will include the same workaround in GPLPV :)
