The changes have resulted in one Coverity found issue that seems to
have been there "for a while" (at least as far as git blame is concerned).

In libxlDomainCoreDump() Coverity has noted a FORWARD_NULL reference:

2004 	    if ((flags & VIR_DUMP_CRASH) && !vm->persistent) {
2005 	        virDomainObjListRemove(driver->domains, vm);

(20) Event assign_zero: 	Assigning: "vm" = "NULL".
Also see events: 	[var_deref_model]

2006 	        vm = NULL;
2007 	    }
2008 	
2009 	    ret = 0;
2010 	
2011 	cleanup_unpause:

(21) Event var_deref_model: 	Passing null pointer "vm" to function "virDomainObjIsActive(virDomainObjPtr)", which dereferences it. [details]
Also see events: 	[assign_zero]

2012 	    if (virDomainObjIsActive(vm) && paused) {
2013 	        if (libxl_domain_unpause(priv->ctx, dom->id) != 0) {
2014 	            virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR,
2015 	                           _("After dumping core, failed to resume domain '%d' with"


Not quite sure which is the best course of action, but it seems
there needs to be at least a "if (vm && virDomainObjIsActive(vm)..."

Also, the ListRemove call could probably be moved up into the
previous if condition since they both require VIR_DUMP_CRASH
