[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 01/10] xen: introduce SHUTDOWN_soft_reset shutdown reason



This special type of shutdown is supposed to be used by PVHVM guests when
they want to perform some sort of kexec/kdump. Toolstack will have to build
a new domain with the memory content of the original domain and start executing
the new one from the point where SHUTDOWN_soft_reset was called. This operation
is not supported for PV domains including the hardware domain.
