PV superpages currently do not work with live migration.  They fall over dead 
when the shadow page table is enabled for dirty tracking.  The HVM support for 
superpages in this code has been tested and found to work just fine for PV 
superpages.  This patch modifies the test macro to allow the code to work with 
PV superpages.
