    tools/misc: xen-hvmcrash: Inject #DF instead of overwriting RIP
    
    xen-hvmcrash would previously save records, overwrite the instruction
    pointer with a bogus value, and then restore them to crash a domain
    just enough to cause the guest OS to memdump.
    
    This approach is found to be unreliable when tested on a guest running
    Windows 10 x64, with some executions doing nothing at all.
    
    Another approach would be to trigger NMIs. This approach is found to be
    unreliable when tested on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04), as Linux will ignore
    NMIs if it is not configured to handle such.
    
    Injecting a double fault abort to all vCPUs is found to be more
    reliable at crashing and invoking memdumps from Windows and Linux
    domains.
    
    This patch modifies the xen-hvmcrash tool to inject #DF to all vCPUs
    belonging to the specified domain, instead of overwriting RIP.
