Summary: failure to migrate guests with more than 4GB of RAM

Initial Comment:

The migration code assumes linear "phys_ram_base":

The issue isn't actually the use of phys_ram_base.  In the case of
migration, we don't care about the layout of physical memory.  We just want
to look at memory from phys_ram_base .. ram_size.

The problem is that we encode physical addresses in the migration protocol
as 32-bit values.  We'll need to figure out a way to switch to encoding
PFNs while maintaining backwards compatibility with the current code.
