  The API virDomainShutdown's description is out of date, it's not correct.
  In fact, virDomainShutdown would block or not, depending on its mode. If it's 
in mode *agent*, then it would be blocked until qemu founds that the guest 
actually got down.
Otherwise, if it's in mode *acpi*, then it would return immediately.
  Thus, maybe further more work need to be done in Openstack.

  What's your opinions, Michal and Daniel (from libvirt.org), and Chris (from 
openstack.org) :)
