  The version of Xen is 3.3.1, Linux-2.6.18.8. The CPU of my platform is AMD Opteron 2216, and the VM is 64-bit. The migrated VM could continue to run

at destination, even that some pages are different.

  I donot know how to explan this phenomenon, it really troubles me a lot.

  Thank you very much for your help!
