Different with old Xen, executing “reboot” instruction in guest will not fall into destroy() function of Xend in current changeset. This makes NVRAM save not work when guest reboot.

The patch fixes this issue. It is a little dirty because I can’t find a more elegant way.

Alex, If you agree with this patch, could you check in it ASAP and push it into Xen-unstable tree? So that RH can pick this patch for RHEL5.1.

Any comment is welcome. Thx.

Isn't this rather asymmetrical with our domain destroy hook? Why can't we do something similar here? Overloading the function with a #def is pretty ugly. Thanks,

Alex
