From 600d7b47e8f5085919fd1d1157f25950ea8dbc11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: zhenwei pi Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2020 10:31:01 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] pvpanic: introduce crashloaded for pvpanic Add bit 1 for pvpanic. This bit means that guest hits a panic, but guest wants to handle error by itself. Typical case: Linux guest runs kdump in panic. It will help us to separate the abnormal reboot from normal operation.
