Re: [Qemu-devel] OpenBSD v5.X guest (with MP kernel) freezes on "virsh shutdown <guest>"

[Robert Urban]

I would be overjoyed if someone could point me to a description of the behavior
of qemu when generating the ACPI "power button press" event for the guest. And a
further reference to a description of the standard that qemu adheres to (I
presume) would be icing on the cake.

cheers,

Rob Urban
