The command line options (such as opt_sched) are discarded after boot in Xen4, so they are no longer available. Use the "ops" variable (if exists) to determine the active scheduler. Without this patch, crash fails during initialization on Xen4 hypervisor dumps with 'crash: schedule data not found.'
