and grep for
"vmcoreinfo".
It would seem like "vmcoreinfo state" would be "on" by default, but
I'm not sure.

Looking back through old bugzillas, google, etc, it does seem to indicate
that the support covers "arm/x86", which I presume covers aarch64. See
kernel commit 2d6d60a3d3eca50bbb20052278cb11dabcf4dff3 titled
"fw_cfg: write vmcoreinfo details".
I see a few old postings from Daisuke that indicate the the vmcoreinfo device
has be registered with a "devices" or "features" file on the host (?)
by
using "virsh edit"? Again, sorry, I'm clueless.
Anyway, Daisuke should be able fill in the details.
