xm dmesg and /var/log/xen/* provide nothing useful. can't migrate meand
- xm migrate --live start migration process, on destination node domain
constucted all memory copied and after that in xentop picture like this:
1) some second after migration xentop displays line like this:

test_domain -----r          2  109.8     262144    0.4    1048576      
1.7    14    1        0        0    2        0        0        0        
0          0    0

2) after that some second line changed to this:

test_domain ---c--          3  245.6     262144    0.4    1048576      
1.7    14    1        0        0    2        0        0        0        
0          0    0

3) after some milli seconds:

test_domain ---cp-          3    0.0     111460    0.2    1048576      
1.7    14    1        0        0    2        0        0        0        
0          0    0

4) after 2 or 3 seconds like this:

test_domain d--cp-          3    0.0          4    0.0    1048576      
1.7    14    1        0        0    2        0        0        0        
0          0    0

after step 4 domain is crushed. If i don't use Daniel's patch - this
not happening.
