An alternative solution would be to break reboot on affected QEMUs instead of
trying to live with possible data corruption as if libvirt 0.9.[34] is used.
That is, virDomainReboot would report unsupported operation because current
emulator binary is not able to support it without causing possible data
corruption during shutdown.
