It would be useful if all shutdown/reboot operations were
symmetrical from domain 0's point of view. One approach
would be to redefine sched_op to handle other domains than
the current domain, but this seemed excessive.
 
 
 I'd prefer an extra sched_op (maybe SCHEDOP_remote_shutdown with 
accompanying sched_remote_shutdown structure). This will need to be 
invokable by the emulator mini domain at some point in the future, so 
adding this as a dom0_op isn't really for the best.

Ok, that's workable.  Is there anything else that needs modification ?
Do you foresee a need for any sort of need for filtering and/or
permissioning of allowable domains as specified in remote_shutdown ?
As long as a non-privileged domain may execute this op, what
level of protection(s) need to exist? (That also was part of my
factoring it into a DOM0 op).
I'm willing to go with anything that gets the job done. This is
one of several points of asymmetry that I'd like to see get
resolved.
Thanks,
