Distinguishing between host and guest initiated VM shutdown

Hi,
we have a problem in oVirt that highly available VMs don't restart after
host poweroff because Vdsm identifies the case as a user initiated
shutdown (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1800966).
When poweroff is run on the host, libvirt-guests service takes an
action. `virsh shutdown' is run on the VM, the guest OS is shut down
cleanly and libvirt reports a shutdown event with
VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_SHUTDOWN_GUEST detail. Although it is a host initiated
shutdown actually.
Does libvirt provide any means to distinguish this case from a regular
user shutdown?
Thanks,
Milan
