I needed a shutdown handler to properly close the blktap connection and
delete the named pipes associated with the qemu-dm instance. When a
domain is destroyed, qemu-dm receives a SIGHUP. However, with the
default SIGHUP handler no atexit functions are called, so I had to add
this handler which performs a clean exit.
