I somehow missed that in the cover letter. Yes we should make sure that this works (
on the other hand I usually blame postcopy because userfault makes several assumptions
which are somewhat "brave". See the empty zero page issue, which could in theory also break
if a postcopy guest does some clever ballooning in and out). But anyway I will have a look
after christmas into postcopy.

FWIW; Martin and I looked over the patches and they seem good enough (after we fixed postcopy).
I also did some testing on that and it seems to work fine so far (including classic migration).
