That's a very x86-centric view of the world, but it's true that manage.c
is about shutdown, restart and other operations that don't fit under
"power management".
It could benefit from a better description.

What about : "Enable lifecycle (reboot, shutdown) management from the
toolstack for ARM guest"?

The patch looks Ok but the description is off.  Power management is the term 
used for cpu freq,  C states and P states. While this patch touches none of 
that.
