Support triggering crash dump in an instance
This blueprint proposes to add a new API used to trigger crash dump in an instance by injecting an NMI (Non-maskable Interruption) into the instance. Linux instance can be configured to use NMI to trigger crash dump. This has to be configured in instance, or the functionality won't work.
1. Add a libvirt driver API to inject NMI into instance. The patch below has been merged.

2. Add a compute API named to trigger crash dump in instance by calling the driver API introduced above.
3. Add a cell API named to trigger crash dump in instance in a cell by calling the compute API introduced above.
4. Add a Nova REST API to trigger crash dump in instance.
5. Add a Nova client API to enable user to trigger crash dump in instance on client side.
The spec for mitaka is here:

This has a feature freeze exception, but that has now expired.
Sorry, we have now hit the non-priority feature freeze for Liberty. You will need to resubmit this blueprint for Mitaka or apply for an exception. For more details on why this is happening, and the rest of the process details, please see: https:/
