system_powerdown not working for qemu-kvm

[glance]

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

Hi.

The qemu-kvm version in lucid doesn't respond to system_powerdown.

My guess is that its related to the bug reported in:
http://<email address hidden>/msg42872.html

SRU Justification:
1. Impact: cannot system_shutdown freebsd
2. How bug was addressed: A commit from the upstream git tree was cherrypicked. Three earlier patches were pulled as well so that the patch would easily apply.
3. Patch: see debdiff attached
4. TEST CASE: try system_shutdown in freebsd guest under kvm on a lucid host.
5. Regression potential: these patches are pulled from upstream git and are present in natty, so they should be safe. However, since they were cherrypicked, it is possible that interactions due to other patches not being applied could cause a problem, so normal workloads very much need to be tested.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I'm marking it confirmed based on the mailing list discussion, and the fact that the patch is not applied.

I'll post a package with commit 6d5a2172f2b76900572107868ec080400c4f615d applied.

(The fix is applied in natty, so marking fix released. Nominated for lucid and maverick which do not have the fix applied)

This upload also adds two other patches:

+add-acpi-ssdt-dsdt-support-for-cpu-hotplug.patch
+add-a-debug-method-to-AML-code.patch

These are not documented in the changelog and look like new features.
