I was just talking on #qemu this morning about the equivalent question
of whether the ARM semihosting exit function ought to be doing a
qemu_system_shutdown_request rather than a plain exit()...

The interesting question for the qemu-char case is whether the code that
feeds this magic byte to us is expecting it to have immediate effect
or is happy to continue execution and let us shut down with a slight
delay.

And also whether it is supposed to obey -no-shutdown...

I didn't know this option...

My goal is to make ctrl-a x to close Qemu in a clean way.
The current exit(0) skips a lot of cleanup/close functions, for
example in block drivers.

We can create a new shutdown function that will override the
-no-shutdown option to keep a consistent behavior with ctrl-a x.

void qemu_system_force_shutdown(void)
{
    no_shutdown = 0;
    qemu_system_shutdown_request();
}

The same thing already exists in qemu_system_killed(). It could use the
same new function if you added it. Or you could reuse the existing code
in the ctrl-a x handler by sending SIGTERM.

This function will change the behavior of ctrl-a x by printing "qemu:
terminating on signal 0".

True (on signal 15 actually if you send SIGTERM). So using a new
qemu_system_force_shutdown() in both places is fine with me.

OK, patch on the way...
