domU crashes, I need to xm destroy, and after that I still have a zombie
domU  lying around until the dom0 reboots:
Name                      ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                 0            256       1      r-----    44587.4
Zombie-foo             17            512      1       -----d  1009270.4

No, the domU is still healthy before attaching the console, and it's
possible to reach it through ssh.
