xen/manage: Poweroff forcefully if user-space is not yet up. The user can launch the guest in this sequence: xl create -p /vm.cfg [launch, but pause it] xl shutdown latest [sets control/shutdown=poweroff] xl unpause latest xl console latest [and see that the guest has completely ignored the shutdown request] In reality the guest hasn't ignored it. It registers a watch and gets a notification that there is value. It then calls the shutdown_handler which ends up calling orderly_shutdown. Unfortunately that is so early in the bootup that there are no user-space. Which means that the orderly_shutdown fails. But since the force flag was set to false it continues on without reporting. What we really want to is to use the force when we are in the SYSTEM_BOOTING state and not use the 'force' when SYSTEM_RUNNING. However, if we are in the running state - and the shutdown command has been given before the user-space has been setup, there is nothing we can do. Worst yet, we stop ignoring the 'xl shutdown' requests! As such, the other part of this patch is to only stop ignoring the 'xl shutdown' when we are truly in the power off sequence. That means the user can do multiple 'xl shutdown' and we will try to act on them instead of ignoring them.
