The loop was just while(1); There was also a python script running that 
was reading from xentrace. So no heavy i/o, at least no disk/network 
i/o. But that doesn't matter anyway. Here is another dump where dom0 is 
doing absolutely nothing besides while (1); And dom1 is completely 
comatose during this time.
