I do not know protocol details but I think that it is worth checking gdbsx tool from Xen (xen/tools/debugger/gdbsx) and gdb protocol spec (you could expose GDB interface from QEMU so it could be useful in HVM case). Maybe crash protocol is very similar or even identical with GDB protocol because a large part of crash is GDB itself.
