Use "xl debug-keys h" and then "xl dmesg" to see all debug keys.

Try "xl debug-keys T" and then "xl dmesg"? I think you should be able to
see "debugtrace_printk now writing to $THING" where $THING would be
either buffer or console.

Note, you do need to enable DEBUG_TRACE_DUMP (a compile time option) in
your hypervisor to have debugtrace support.

The only way to find out is to obtain relevant logs and see what goes
wrong.
