I don't think we should do an assert here and abort booting, failure
here will simply disable live migration support but i don't think that
it is such a fatal error that we should abort booting because of that.

OTOH, if there is a failure when doing page encryption status hypercalls
then aborting boot makes sense as guest page encryption status tracking
may be critical for multiple guest operations and not only live
migration.
