[Xen-devel] Using kexec-crashdump with recent Xen and Linux HVM

After being asked about this I started to play around with Xen-4.4.1/4.5 together with HVM Linux guest running 3.13/3.16/3.19. With mixed success. Usually rather failing. From a bit of research most activity to enable things were back in 2011. There was a bit of a throwback around Linux 3.2[1]
