An ACPI shutdown is triggered by an authenticated user inside of the
guest.

The present exit is triggered by any other anonymous user on the
network, with the ability to send a lot of packets very quickly to the
VM guest.  The guest isn't able to handle this properly (and rightly
that guest's kernel should be fixed).  But I do see a difference.
