It's not a million miles away from VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_GUEST_AGENT if you consider the bit of the kernel which responds to the paravirt shutdown request as an agent of sorts. With Windows PV drivers I think this is even literally a userspace component. Not that having a more explicit type is a bad idea, but I thought I'd mention it.
