    In 13y of working on Xen, I've never seen seen it used.  The implementation
    was introduced (commit b69f92f3, 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.
