Not sure, have to dig into the xen code to figure.

Could be xen doesn't remember the page in the first place. They might
let the illegal instruction fault handler patch the opcode. At least I
vaguely remember some discussions about that.

Xen does a simple msr-triggered memcpy() as well, without keeping track of the page. On a quick glimpse I can't find a opcode patching place either. Hmm.


Maybe migration is cooperative, that is the host tells the guest it is migrated, so it can re-register the hypercall area?
