I didn't know this option...
My goal is to make ctrl-a x to close Qemu in a clean way.
The current exit(0) skips a lot of cleanup/close functions, for
example in block drivers.
We can create a new shutdown function that will override the
-no-shutdown option to keep a consistent behavior with ctrl-a x.
void qemu_system_force_shutdown(void)
{
no_shutdown = 0;
qemu_system_shutdown_request();
}
