Call it "paravirtualized exception handling." In that sense, the
refactoring of the exception handling to benefit FRED is definitely
useful for reducing paravirtualization. The FRED-specific code is
largely trivial, and presumably what you would do is to replace the FRED
wrapper with a Xen wrapper and call the common handler routines.
