linux-2.6.18: kdump for pv-on-hvm guests

# HG changeset patch
# User Olaf Hering <[email protected]>
# Date 1301997987 -7200
# Node ID 0bbf646804818f582e91dc88038d1c79f76ba36e # Parent 6cc1c07f0e74cd481d1cde0f17bec2631a767891 kdump pv-on-hvm: reset PV devices in crash kernel

After triggering a crash dump in a HVM guest, the PV backend drivers will remain in connected state. When the kdump kernel starts the PV drivers will skip such devices. As a result, no root device is found and the vmcore cant be saved.

With this change all frontend devices with state XenbusStateConnected will be reset by changing the state file to Closing/Closed/Initializing. This will trigger a disconnect in the backend drivers. Now the frontend drivers will find the backend drivers in state Initwait and can connect.

So this patch is for 2.6.18 but not for upstream?
