This set of patches fixes virt-rescue rather cleanly.  In particular
the problems with handling ^C are completely fixed.

Work still to be done before this can go upstream:

 - Shutdown doesn't work properly if you exit the shell.  At the
   moment to exit you must do 'reboot -f'.

Future improvements:

 - An escape sequence and escape commands that could be handled by
   virt-rescue, eg. to shut down the appliance, mount or unmount
   filesystems.

 - `virt-rescue -i' could be implemented cleanly by performing the
   right API calls before handling control to the rescue shell.

I'm not intending the do the future stuff just yet.

Rich.
