Hi, i'm gentoo user and try with xen 4.6.3 and 4.7.1 in both version have the

My cpu is AMD A10-7860K

This issue has been reported before ("[Xen-devel] "X86_PV_VCPU_MSRS record truncated" during domain restore").

I submitted patches to fix it ("Fix issues with zero-length records in migration v2" in July even), which made no progress. As the author of migration v2, and unfortunately of this bug, I stand by v1 of my fix without any further modification.

You can find the patches here: https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/andrewcoop/xen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/tools-fix-zero-length-records

If you don't want to take patches, you should be able to work around the issue by booting Xen with

cpuid_mask_ext_ecx=fbffffff

Specifically, you are looking to hide the DBEXT feature from Xen so it doesn't choose to insert them into the migration stream to start with. This migration bug only manifests when the hardware is capable, but the VM isn't using the feature.
