Please see my Xen series:
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-09/msg00547.html
(last 'full' submission).

All patches from my 'toolstack-assisted approach to PVHVM guest kexec'
are already merged to xen.git (first 10 are already in 'master' and the
last one is in 'staging').



OK, so I was looking at the right tree. Then I don't understand how SHUTDOWN_soft_reset would be reached for a non-privileged domain. The only path that I see is

domain_shutdown()
{
...
if ( is_hardware_domain(d) )
hwdom_shutdown(reason);
...
}

Is there another path to handle this op?

Thanks.
