[RFC] pvpanic notifications for non-panic reboot events
From: Thomas Weißschuh

Hi everybody,
the mechanism for a (Linux) guest to signal a regular shutdown event to
QEMU seems fairly architecture specific and dependent on kernel
configuration.
The existing pvpanic protocol [0] could be extended fairly easily to
also cover these events.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Thomas
