We are still doing the 'system_powerdown' step first though, to do a graceful shutdown, before re-creating QEMU, and the powerdown is what we refer to as "ACPI". So I think we don't need new public API constants. We should still use the _ACPI flag, and just "do the right thing" with choosing between system_reset vs re-creating QEMU depending on whether TDX/SEV are active. That way the public API user experience is unchanged, only the internal impl varies.
