I look into xen source code

find in function cpu_reset in

freebsd-5.3-xen-sparse/i386-xen/i386-xen/vm_machdep.c

we call HYPERVISOR_shutdown() instead of HYPERVISOR_reboot()

I changed it to HYPERVISOR_reboot(), found it seems to work.


But I think there must be some reason why the xen source not to do this.
Is there any special issue about this?
