Firstly, aren't there several possible indications we could send, in
which case we pick one most likely to make the guest shut down ?

Secondly, having the guest attempt to reboot is probably better than
simply shooting it in the head.  (We could even intercept that and
have it be destroyed anyway.)  At least this way if the user wants
graceful shutdown they can configure the guest to do a shutdown and
then xl shutdown will work.

At the moment it doesn't work at all without pv drivers.

Ian.
