kvm_arch_async_page_present() checks for is_error_page() too and,
in case of PV guest, injects special token if it is true. 

After your patch special token will not be injected and migration will
not work.

May be wakeup_all function naming is misleading. It means wake up all PV
guest processes by sending broadcast async pf notification. It is not
about waking host vcpu thread.
