So this is interesting. I noticed that even a local save/restore of any
guest when the host is 32-bit is taking forever. While with a 64-bit host
is done much much faster. (Tens of minutes vs minutes)

Just running 'perf record xm save' showed me that it spends the majority
of time doing the xen_version hypercall (so yield to hypervisor). Hadn't really
dug deeper in this to see if there are some other operations (so block I/Os)
that are just soo much slower on i386 than 64-bit.
