Rebooting a KVM host at $WORK seems to take a long time -- as in, a long time to actually reboot the host after I type "shutdown -r now". But then the process list shows this:

root     26881  0.0  0.0  64328   824 ?        S    13:30   0:00 /bin/sh /etc/rc6.d/K01libvirt-guests stop
root     26882  0.0  0.0 130220  3504 ?        S    13:30   0:00 virsh managedsave 128b38e0-ce1a-eb4b-5ee5-2746cd0926ce

And now I understand.
