I think this has been changed recently.  If you look at the recent
"example" domain config files in /etc/xen, you'll see that now we
have 3 things to control the behavior when a domain exits:

on_poweroff = 'destroy' (default value)
on_reboot = 'restart' (default value)
on_crash = 'restart' (default value)

As a result, if a domain is crashing, it would be automatically
be restarted (with a different domain ID) by default.  To prevent
a domain from being endlessly restarted after it crashes, you
can set:
on_crash = 'preserve'

The comments in the "example" domain config files given in /etc/xen
provide more info on these parameters and how the original "restart"
parameter is handled under the new scheme.
