I know PBEs correspond to pages. *Why* should I not expect only one page
is saved? Or, more importantly, why should I expect more than zero pages
are saved?
Convincing answers might be because we *always* put the restore code in
pages which get added to the PBE list or that the original page tables
*always* get put in pages which get added to the PBE list. It's not very
convincing to simply *assume* that at least one random page will always
meet the PBE list criteria.

Exactly, so those pages are *not* going to contribute to the greater than
zero pages. What I've been asking for, from the beginning, is to know
which page(s) are known to *always* contribute to the list. Or, IOW, how
do you know the PBE list isn't empty, a.k.a restore_pblist isn't NULL?
