> Create a migration snapshot with mapped-ram enabled:

> (qemu) migrate file:/tmp/qemu-snapshots/snapshot.bin
> Modify the snapshot so that MappedRamHeader.page_size becomes diff with
> target psize. (0/512/8192/1GB).
> Restore the snapshot:
> (qemu) migrate_set_capability mapped-ram on
> (qemu) migrate_incoming file:/tmp/qemu-snapshots/snapshot.bin
>
> As-is:
> * [0]: Floating point exception (core dumped)
> * [512/8192]: Silent corruption
> * [1GB]: "post load hook failed for: kvm-tpr-opt" (EPERM)
> To-be:

> page_size [val] (expected 4096)
