Interesting... I didn't know this command of Qemu Monitor.

Doing a test being connected to one of my guest by serial console, I see
that when executing the command from Qemu Monitor, guest does a normal
shutdown. But for this I believe that acpi package (Debian) must be
installed.

Thanks for the information!
