Not really. I crashed Dom0, which is in turn sent to the hypervisor, so
the result is a complete host dump, including Xen hypervisor data and
all domains.

All right. FYI I do not plan to put much effort into it, as my focus has
shifted towards libkdumpfile (https://github.com/ptesarik/libkdumpfile),
and this library can open PV guest dump files without any issues.
