Reboot can't be passed by ACPI. This is why virDomainReboot is still
not functional in KVM. Every other hypervisor does something identical
to this series.
And a hypervisor initiated shutdown ought to be treated differently than
an ACPI shutdown. Namely, it should correspond to an immediate shut
down vs. prompting the user.
Not all OSes response to ACPI shutdown either FWIW.
