This is now fixed (the domain doesn't hang around as a zombie any more), but
the built-in rate limiting still seems broken (guest loses network
connectivity after a while). I'll have to investigate further.

As for save/restore of domains with non-dom0 backends. That's pushing the
envelope somewhat and might require some changes to our tools. But at the
very least it shouldn't leave zombies hanging around. I'll give your setup a
test and see what can be done.
