[libvirt] Crash state and QEMU

[Anthony Liguori]

Hi,

As far as I can tell, if QEMU exits abruptly or with a non-zero status 
code, libvirt treats this as a domain destruction given no real 
indication to the user that something bad happened.

But libvirt does have a crashed state for domains, it's just not used 
for QEMU guests.

I was wondering how intention of a design decision this was.  Right now 
there's no good way for a management tool to detect a crashed 
guest/QEMU.  Is there something I'm overlooking?

Regards,
