A simple way to solve this would be to also add a new RunState called guest-panic and make the transition to it (besides sending the event). A more general way would be to model this after -drive's werror/rerror options, say guest-error=report|ignore|stop. When guest-error=stop, the mngt app will get a STOP event and can check the VM runstate to know if it's guest-panic. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
