Hi -
  We (well, Robert) just (earlier today) noticed we couldn't migrate 
64-bit guests with the 3.1.1 and unstable hypervisors.  The culprit was 
a too-strict test on guest EFER bits, trivially fixed by the following 
patch, which applies to both unstable and 3.1.1.  Sorry we didn't catch 
this before today ...

Dave

The sanity check for ctxt.msr_efer used to fail when EFER_LMA was set.
This prevent migration of 64-bit guests.
