Hi Anthony,

Saving, restoring and migrating domains are not currently supported on
arm and arm64 platforms, so xendomains prints the warning:

   An error occurred while saving domain:
   command not implemented

when attempting to run `xendomains stop`. It otherwise continues to shut
down the domains cleanly, with the unsupported steps skipped.

Also in sysconfig.xendomains, change "Default" to "Example" as the
real default is an empty value.

Peter, what do you think of this approach?

For reference, there's also a way to findout if a macro exist, with
AC_CHECK_DECL(), but the libxl.h header depends on other headers that
needs to be generated.

Quite likely, a developer adding a new arch will first look at the definition of LIXBL_HAVE_NO_SUSPEND_RESUME. So it would be good if we have a similar message there to remind them to update this case. That said...

... I am wondering if the switch should be the other way around. IOW, the default should be no support for suspend/resume. This will make easier to add support for RISC-V (I suspect support for suspend/resume will not be in the first version) or any new other arch.

Cheers,
