Yes, I do. It is a good idea.
I think that it is better that the command for xen isn't separated
from makedumpfile if unnecessary pages will be filtered out from dom-0,
because the command for xen will need almost the same code.

I'll start testing makedumpfile with your patch (2007/05/28) and inform
you of the result.
