Script to gracefully power off KVM instances
When a node is running KVM instances and that node is rebooted or shutdown, the gnt-noded daemon is finished and leaves the KVM instances running. Latter on in the shutdown process, all remaining processes receive SIGTERM as usual, meaning that the KVM instances are all terminated, without running a proper shutdown procedure inside the guests. When using Xen, the xendomains script will take care of gracefully powering down the instances, but for KVM there is nothing like that. This patch adds an script that sends the "system_powerdown" command to all running instances, and it could be useful for people using KVM.
