Well there's a 'system_reset' monitor command, but its unclear if
its actually working - when i run it, it stops the guest from responding
to any keyboard input and makes it take 100% CPU, but doesn't reboot :-(
If that's not suitable i think the ctrl-alt-delete thing is probably the
best we can do.
You are quicker than me... With an up-to-date kvm, system_reset seems to
be working fine (it was buggy in previous kvms).
