[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen: update machine_to_phys_order on resume

Migration of pv guests fails, the guest crashes on the target host once the
guest is unpaused after transit. It happens when the guest is started on a
small systen, then migrated from that small system to a large system.
If the guest is started on a large system, then migrated to a small system and
back to the large system, the migration will be successful.

The issue is that mfn_to_pfn() makes use of machine_to_phys_order, which
is only configured once early in the boot process. After migration to a
large host the mfns will exceed the order from the small system and a
wrong code path is taken.

Calling xen_setup_machphys_mapping() again in the resume path will avoid
the crash.
