[Crash-utility] Question regarding crash usage on Xen Dom0 Kernel

All, Could latest crash version (b349598) could work on Linux 4.6.4 Xen Dom0? It seemed that crash only could support open dump files, instead of running directly without a kernel core. Please let me know whether my understanding is correct or not. Daniel, If my understanding is correct, I’m wondering do you have the plan to support this crash use case on Xen Dom0? Here are detailed information, just FYI, On Linux kernel 4.6.4 based Xen Dom0, I ran crash directly with kernel debug info installed, # crash crash 7.1.5++ Copyright (C) 2002-2016 Red Hat, Inc.
