Hm, this patch seems to be causing a regression.  If I start up a KVM guest, let
it completely boot, then run "shutdown -h now" inside the guest, the guest
properly shuts down and qemu-kvm exits.  However, it is never removed from the
list of "active" guests (i.e. it shows up in "virsh list"), and the state is set
to "no state".  Reverting just this patch fixes the issue.  I'll look at it some
more to try to figure out what is happening, but we might want to revert it for
the time being (since we don't technically need it at the moment).
