------- Comment #1 from haicheng.li@xxxxxxxxx  2008-01-16 18:23 -------
Attached some discussions on this bug.
==

For the virtual interrupt injection rate, there is almost no change across
save/restore;
The save/restore happens on the same machine.
The downgrade happens under all combinations of 32pae/32e VMX guests on
32pae/32e Xen, and it should exist for quite a long period of time.
