The only comment is that I'd drop the event too.  It's not possible to
use SHUTDOWN_CAUSE_NONE directly of course, but you can special case it
in qemu_system_reset.

Also I wouldn't be worried of picking an s390-specific name like
SHUTDOWN_CAUSE_GUEST_(RE)?IPL.  At least it explains exactly what it is
for and it makes sense that it doesn't obey -no-reboot and generate the
event.
