Since Windows only works in HVM mode, it's not possible to get this
working "by configuration". The code needed to save/restore HVM domains
isn't there in 3.0.4, it's only present in the "unstable" version of
Xen. This version will become 3.0.5 in the next few weeks or so. I was
the one who wrote the code to save the AMD CPU context, so I should know
;-)
As to power-off in Windows, I thought that worked, but maybe there are
different variants of how this works, which work differently - or maybe
because I've been running unstable for several months, and it certainly
works in unstable (well, I've never really done anything other than
unstable, as I'm a Xen kernel developer when I'm not responding to posts
here - there's rarely much point in running the "released" version when
you want to add new code to Xen)
