This patch rejects the xm shutdown/reboot command to the domain of
the paused state. By the user's mistake, the domain is not destroyed.

A domain can be paused for short period for all sorts of reasons outside the control of the administrator, so this doesn't seem a good extra check to add. Arguably better would be to remove xm pause/unpause altogether. I doubt they are really practically useful.
