godawa,
currently vmx save/restore is under development and migration will start 
after it is done.
save/restore in vmx is different from domU,  because vmx guest use 
shadow page table ,VMCS and device model.
so i think it takes a long time to include these feature in xen unstable.

i'll keep status update for you:)
