This need not be a hv crash.  You can add crash_occurred to CPUState
directly, and set it in qemu_system_guest_panicked:

	if (current_cpu) {
	    current_cpu->crash_occurred = true;
        }

Then you would add two subsections: one for crash_occurred in exec.c
(attached to vmstate_cpu_common), one for hyperv crash params in
target-i386/machine.c.

This also gives an idea about splitting the patch: first the
introduction of qemu_system_guest_panicked and crash_occurred, second
the Hyper-V specific bits.

You can only set this to true if the kernel also supports the MSRs.

The value is always host-defined, so I think it doesn't need a field in
CPUX86State.  On the other hand, this:


+static bool hyperv_crash_enable_needed(void *opaque)
+{
+    X86CPU *cpu = opaque;
+    CPUX86State *env = &cpu->env;
+
+    return (env->msr_hv_crash_ctl & HV_X64_MSR_CRASH_CTL_CONTENTS) ?
+            true : false;
+}
+

can just check if any of the params fields is nonzero.

Thanks,

Paolo
