How can a service on the guest be related to a qemu crash? And how
would guest registers help?
You can extract the list of running processes from a qemu crash dump
without looking at guest registers. And most vcpus are running
asynchronously to qemu, so their register contents is irrelevant (if a
vcpu is running synchronously with qemu - it just exited to qemu and is
waiting for a response - then you'd see the details in qemu's call stack).
