| Doc Text: |
Previously, the migration process would fail for a virtual machine because the virtual machine could not map all the memory. This was caused by a conflict that was initiated when a virtual machine was initially run and then migrated right away. With this update, the conflict no longer occurs and the migration process no longer fails.

Reproduce this problem with kvm-83-164.el5_5.12, do migration immediately after "system_reset", got 3 failed results: 1. (qemu) Error while reading ram block header Error block header 2. (qemu) load of migration failed 3.
