[Xen-devel] [PATCH x86_64] x86_64 doesn't tell the HV it is panicing

[Don Zickus <dzickus@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

As the subject says, the domU kernel just sits around forever on a panic
because the HV doesn't know it crashed.  This patch sends the signal,
which allows the kernel to be cleaned up (according to whatever guest.conf
rules).  

It is basically copied and pasted from the i386 branch.  

Cheers,
Don
