  This is a limitation in KVM, there is no Reboot support, basically
only shutdown. The only possibility at the moment is a combination of
shutdown and restart, which is not 100% similar at the libvirt level
which is why I would rather try to get a reboot operation at the QEmu
level.
  But at the CIM API level maybe "reboot" and "shutdown + restart" are
undistinguishable, in which case it's probably a good idea to implement
it this way if the hypervisor support for reboot is not present.
