RE: [Xen-devel] VMX status report. Xen:#16673 & Xen0: #372-oneissuefixed

["Cui, Dexuan" <dexuan.cui@xxxxxxxxx>]

For the virtual interrupt injection rate, there is almost no change across 
save/restore;
The save/restore happens on the same machine.
The downgrade happens under all combinations of 32pae/32e VMX guests on 
32pae/32e Xen, and it should exist for quite a long period of time.
