No it isn't but it's making things much better for other OSes. I won't
insist on this in any way though (this just came along with the
system_powerdown stuff) but using system_reset is bad either. Using
system_powerdown and then restarting the domain is probably best.
Yes, I think we'll have todo a 'system_powerdown' and then set a 'needs
restart' flag in our internal 'strut qemu_vm' so that when the VM is
shutdown, we know that we were supposed to restart it.
