quick debugging KVM VM issues

See a hang or infinite loop, or perf issue with VM on KVM? Here's how to get a trace of it so a bugzilla report can be meaningful:

First attach VM configuration XML. That is obtained by:

>  sudo virsh dumpxml [vm_name] > some_file

Also interesting might be system log from Host and guest. On Fedora you can obtain it by a command similar to:

> sudo journalctl --system --since today
