In 13y of working on Xen, I've never seen seen it used. The implementation
was introduced (commit b69f92f301, Jul 28 2004) with known issues such as:
/* Resuming after we've stopped used to work, but more through luck
than any actual intention. It doesn't at the moment. */
which appear to have gone unfixed for the 20 years since.
Nowadays there are more robust ways of inspecting crashed state, such as a
kexec crash kernel, or running Xen in a VM.
This will allow us to clean up some hooks around the codebase which are
proving awkward for other tasks.
