Plain QEMU has the parameter -no-shutdown. This avoids termination of the qemu
process when VM got shutdown (e.g. to still use the QEMU-Monitor with stopped
VM). This parameter has no effect on qemu-kvm, today.

This patch introduces identical handling, as in qemu, of -no-shutdown for
qemu-kvm:

 * termination of qemu-kvm process on a VM shutdown get only avoided once
 * second shutdown of VM cause termination of qemu-kvm (like in qemu)

Applied, thanks.

What is the reason for the wierd semantics?  I'd expect -no-shutdown to 
keep functioning even after the first shutdown.

No idea.

I would prefer something like this as well. But this way it's 1:1 the same 
behavior as with plain QEMU. I'll prepare a propsoal + patch for changing this 
in QEMU. If this gets accepted i'll changed it for qemu-kvm as well.

Best Regards,
Daniel
