Can you explain why this is needed?  I can't see why it should be required.

Actually, as part of reviewing this I have worked out why this is needed.

It is a latent bug in the migration v2 series with all the x86 pv vcpu
state (not just the basic state), which is not triggered by a well
behaved sender.

I shall fix it up in the base series.

That's great, remember the bug I talked to you on IRC last time? This
patch was targeted to avoid the bug, but I don't know why this bug
happened, which I can tell is that if we don't cache the state,
we will get mapping error when restore the CPU state next time,
can you explain it in detail? Thanks in advance.
