The syscall ABI still has the wrong semantics.
Aka totally unmaintainable and umergeable.
The concept of domU support is also strange. What does domU support even mean,
when the dom0 support is loading a kernel to pick up Xen when Xen falls over.
There are two requirements pulling at this patch series, but I agree
that we need to clarify them.
It probably make sense to split them apart a little even.
Thinking about this split, there might be a way to simply it even more.
/sbin/kexec can load the "Xen" crash kernel itself by issuing hypercalls
using /dev/xen/privcmd. This would remove the need for the dom0 kernel
to distinguish between loading a crash kernel for itself and loading a
kernel for Xen.
Or is this just a silly idea complicating the matter?
