Marc, could you please explain a bit about "IMPDEF mechanism"? I'm not sure if
it means a non-standard SDEI event should be used, corresponding to the HMP/QMP
"nmi" command.
Also, If I'm correct, you agree that a crash dump should be triggered on arm64
guest once HMP/QMP "nmi" command is issued? I also dig into SDEI a bit. It seems
the SDEI support in QEMU isn't upstream yet:

Thanks,
Gavin
