Yes. The limiting factor (e.g. the one that takes most time) is usually
the data copy process. If you predict that you frequently need to
migrate Linux domU <-> physical machines, you could :
- put them on external SAN/NAS, using disk/LVM-backed storage
- use either UUID/LVM to reference filesystems (in fstab and in grub)

That way migration should only need initrd rebuild (when necessary) and
a shutdown-startup.
