Why?

I'm not looking to have a long discussion on the merits one way or 
another, but I'd at least like to know why you would want to disable 
this in Xen.

Assuming this comes along with some way to detect when the VM has been 
stopped by this condition programmatically, Xend could simply cont if it 
cared to ignore the error?  I guess it would then get stuck in an 
infinite loop.  But why would you ignore the error in the first place?
