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.

For now, IS_PRIV() is the correct check as for a dom0_op, but it can be revisited in future.

Apart from that the patch looked okay to me.
