As Matus Harvan also mentioned, the init script should handle this too.  It 
sends a shutdown request to each domain, which should shut itself down 
politely and then go away.

Note that "rude" or malicious domains can hold up dom0 arbitrarily long by not 
shutting themselves down on request...  You'll want to bear this in mind: you 
must a reasonable confidence that the domains won't do this all the time, or 
at least that you'll notice and come and kill them.
