AMD (cpuinfo below). I've just spent the last few hours updating my
Intel box to test on that too. Save/resume was working but was only
3.4.1 so isn't really a comparison.

Both are now same xen, tools, and kernel.

I should know if the problem exists on intel very soon. I'm guessing not
or I wouldn't be the first one posting about it... either that or there
is something else going on.
