[libvirt-users] How do you force a VM reboot (when its KPd etc) without interrupting a blockcopy?

My question is this: If you have an ongoing blockcopy (drive-mirror) of a running transient VM, and the VM kernel panics, can you restart the VM without interrupting the ongoing blockcopy? A virsh reboot won't work since if the VM is kernel panicked, its not going to respond to ACPI requests.
