You could possibly play with migration, but I think Live migration is a bit in 
the future - it require shadow paging to support log-dirty, which is currently 
not supported - because for live migration, you keep the old domain running 
whilst starting the new one, and to understand what has changed since the start 
of migration until "handover", you need to know which pages of memory has been 
modified during the "copy" of memory. 

Currently live migration is "early abort" in xc_hvm_save() - it checks the 
"live" flag and says "Can't do Live save". But that's a small patch, compared 
to supporting log-dirty.
