Most of them can be modified to work correctly, like :
- clock issue (Linux use UTC on hwclock by default, while solaris uses
local time. Can be fixed).
- I can't use vncunused=0 (then again I have problem using this on
Xen-3.3.1/Linux)
- different bootloader location. /usr/bin/pygrub vs
/usr/lib/xen/bin/pygrub (again, simple workaround)
- serial='pty' does not work on HVM guest on opensolaris

That would be hard, since migration requires :
- same network setup (how can we set the same bridge setup on Linux
and opensolaris?)
- same disk setup (using /dev/sda or /dev/disk/by-id obviously won't
work on solaris, even when it's iscsi-imported disk).
- same Xen version (is this required?)
