 ## High Availability and Fault Tolerance
 
+### Live Migration, Save & Restore
+
+    Status, x86: Supported, with caveats
+
+A number of features don't work with live migration / save / restore.  These include:
+ * PCI passthrough
+ * vNUMA
+ * Nested HVM
+
+XXX Need to check the following:
+
+ * Guest serial console
+ * Crash kernels
+ * Transcendent Memory
+ * Alternative p2m
+ * vMCE
+ * vPMU
+ * Intel Platform QoS
+ * Remus
+ * COLO
+ * PV protocols: Keyboard, PVUSB, PVSCSI, PVTPM, 9pfs, pvcalls?
+ * FlASK?
+ * CPU / memory hotplug?
+
+Additionally, if an HVM guest was booted with memory != maxmem,
+and the balloon driver hadn't hit the target before migration,
+the size of the guest on the far side might be unexpected.
+
+See docs/features/migration.pandoc for more details
+
 ### Remus Fault Tolerance
 
     Status: Experimental
