If we use fake reboot then domain goes thru running->shutdown->running state changes with shutdown state only for short period of time. At least this is implementation details leaking into API. And also there is one real case when this is not convinient. I'm doing a backup with the help of temporary block snapshot (with the help of qemu's API which is used in the newly created libvirt's backup API). If guest is shutdowned I want to continue to backup so I don't kill the process and domain is in shutdown state. Later when backup is finished I want to destroy qemu process. So I check if it is in shutdowned state and destroy it if it is. Now if instead of shutdown domain got fake reboot then I can destroy process in the middle of fake reboot process. After shutdown event we also get stop event and now as domain state is running it will be transitioned to paused state and back to running later. Though this is not critical for the described case I guess it is better not to leak these details to user too. So let's leave domain in running state on stop event if fake reboot is in process. Reconnection code handles this patch without modification. It detects that qemu is not running due to shutdown and then calls qemuProcessShutdownOrReboot which reboots as fake reboot flag is set.

libvirt library code README
===========================
The directory provides the bulk of the libvirt codebase. Everything
except for the libvirtd daemon and client tools. The build uses a
large number of libtool convenience libraries - one for each child
directory, and then links them together for the final libvirt.so,
although some bits get linked directly to libvirtd daemon instead.
The files directly in this directory are supporting the public API
entry points & data structures.
There are two core shared modules to be aware of:
* util/ - a collection of shared APIs that can be used by any
code. This directory is always in the include path
for all things built
* conf/ - APIs for parsing / manipulating all the official XML
files used by the public API. This directory is only
in the include path for driver implementation modules
* vmx/ - VMware VMX config handling (used by esx/ and vmware/)
Then there are the hypervisor implementations:
* bhyve - bhyve - The BSD Hypervisor
* esx/ - VMware ESX and GSX support using vSphere API over SOAP
* hyperv/ - Microsoft Hyper-V support using WinRM
* lxc/ - Linux Native Containers
* openvz/ - OpenVZ containers using cli tools
* qemu/ - QEMU / KVM using qemu CLI/monitor
* remote/ - Generic libvirt native RPC client
* test/ - A "mock" driver for testing
* vbox/ - Virtual Box using native API
* vmware/ - VMware Workstation and Player using the vmrun tool
* xen/ - Xen using hypercalls, XenD SEXPR & XenStore
Finally some secondary drivers that are shared for several HVs.
Currently these are used by LXC, OpenVZ, QEMU and Xen drivers.
The ESX, Hyper-V, Remote, Test & VirtualBox drivers all
implement the secondary drivers directly
* cpu/ - CPU feature management
* interface/ - Host network interface management
* network/ - Virtual NAT networking
* nwfilter/ - Network traffic filtering rules
* node_device/ - Host device enumeration
* secret/ - Secret management
* security/ - Mandatory access control drivers
* storage/ - Storage management drivers
Since both the hypervisor and secondary drivers can be built as
dlopen()able modules, it is *FORBIDDEN* to have build dependencies
between these directories. Drivers are only allowed to depend on
the public API, and the internal APIs in the util/ and conf/
directories
