[Xen-devel] [PATCH 3/4] libxl: handle domain shutdown events in a thread

[Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@xxxxxxxx>]

Handling the domain shutdown event within the event handler seems
a bit unfair to libxl's event machinery.  Domain "shutdown" could
take considerable time.  E.g. if the shutdown reason is reboot,
the domain must be reaped and then started again.

Spawn a shutdown handler thread to do this work, allowing libxl's
event machinery to go about its business.
