When Windows writes the CrashNotify bit in the CRASH_CTL MSR then we know
it is crashing, so set the domain shutdown code appropriately.

How does the domain eventually shut down? It feels slightly odd to have
a shutdown code before the domain has finished executing code.

I assume it shuts down when the guest writes to the PIIX.

That's the norm. The PV drivers (if they are installed) set it via a schedop. This just makes sure it is set even if the PV drivers aren't there.

What happens if the user has configured windows to reboot after a crash?

That's exactly what this is trying to fix. Without the patch a VM without PV drivers will appear to just shut down (because nothing will set the shutdown code to anything else) so the actions-after-crash will not take effect.
