Currently 'xm reboot --wait' never ends. (But VM reboot is completed.)
The wait option waits for the domain termination by chekcing current 
domain list (server.xend.domains). But the domain termination cannot be 
detected because the domain is recreated immediately.

I will remake patch based on your advice.
