Xend is waiting 30 seconds for your HVM domain to complete its shutdown.
Once your domain halts, or tries to reboot, or whatever, qemu or Xen will
set its state to 'shutdown' and this is picked up by xend. That event will
stop xend's 30-second fallback timer.

If your problem is simply that clean shutdown of your HVM guest takes longer
than 30 seconds, then you need to increase SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT in
XendConstants.py. It is already increased to 5 minutes in xen-unstable and
in xen-3.1.1.
