For crash-dumping you'll can simply ask xend to write out an dump on
domain crash, then inspect it using gdbserver-xen ;)

For kexec I'm looking into getting kexec work right now.  For domU's it
shouldn't be that hard I think.  dom0 likely is much harder given how
xen and dom0 work hand-in-hand to drive the hardware ...

cheers,
