  • Thread-topic: add 'hibernate' option to xm

For review, the following patch adds an 'xm hibernate' (and 'xm shutdown
-i' (-h and -H were already taken)) option to xm, which will do the same
as shutdown but instead ultimately write 'hibernate' to control/shutdown
instead of 'shutdown'.

I added it because I want to test the hibernate ability of the GPLPV
drivers and this was just as easy as writing a script to manually write
'hibernate' to control/shutdown. Much easier to add in a loop script now
(eg 'xm hibernate -w <domain> && xm create <domain> && sleep 300' on
repeat).

I don't think it hurts anything, but on the other hand, outside of my
testing and few specific scenarios I'm not sure exactly how useful it
is, given that xen already has the 'save' and 'restore' ability.

Let me know if could be useful to someone and I'll submit properly (eg
as an attachment with a signed off by etc).

James
