Subject: [PATCH 0/2] misc/pvpanic: shutdown event definition

Add the definitions for the new PVPANIC_SHUTDOWN event that was recently
specified by qemu.

This is only the event definition to get the series merged more easily
as that is a requirement to reimport the header into qemu.
Which is a requirement to start the hypervisor implementation.

Any chance this series could make it into the current merge window?
The headers are imported into qemu en bloc so it would make sense to
do it from some more stable base like an release candidate.

Patch 2 was split out from my previous pvpanic-shutdown series and
patch 1 is a preparation asked for by Greg.

For a discussion about where to place the definitions,
see the original series.
