xenner signals a shutdown request to the guest for the first SIGINT (and
prints a message to the user saying so).  Sending SIGINT twice kills the
guest and cleans up.  I find that very useful, you can shutdown the
guest cleanly with a convenient Ctrl-C and also kill it off quickly by
simply pressing Ctrl-C again.

SIGTERM kills the guest instantly.  Applictions are expected to react
quickly on SIGTERM, there is no way you can wait for a clean guest
shutdown then.  It is used on (host) shutdown for example, where you'll
get a SIGKILL when you don't exit within three seconds.

cheers,
  Gerd
