With pvpanic or HyperV panic devices could be moved into the paused state with ' <on_crash>preserve</on_crash>'. In this state VM reacts only to 'virsh destroy' or 'continue'.
'virsh reset' command is usually used to force guest reset. The expectation of the behavior of this command is that the guest will be force restarted. This is not true at the moment. Thus it is quite natural to process 'virh reset' aka qmp_system_reset this way, i.e. allow to reset the guest. This behavior is similar to one observed with 'reset' button on real hardware :) Signed-off-by: Denis V.
