Is xen-ctx a good choice of a name, considering we already have not
only xen-hvmctx, but also xenctx? If the new functionality isn't a
good fit for either, perhaps its name would better reflect its
connection to save/restore records? xen-sr-dump looks pretty clumsy
to me, but still seems better than a name easily mixed up with
others.
