Sorry this didn't receive a timely response. Unsurprisingly it's
conflicting with master now.
Conceptually what you say makes sense, that the 'shutdown' is an
implementation detail of our 'reboot' implementation and details
shouldn't leak to apps.
Here's the events I see with: sudo virsh reboot --mode=acpi f30
$ sudo virsh event --domain f30 --all --loop
event 'agent-lifecycle' for domain f30: state: 'disconnected' reason:
'channel event'
event 'lifecycle' for domain f30: Shutdown Finished after guest request
event 'reboot' for domain f30
event 'lifecycle' for domain f30: Resumed Unpaused
event 'reboot' for domain f30
event 'agent-lifecycle' for domain f30: state: 'connected' reason:
'channel event'
Using --mode=agent gives:
event 'agent-lifecycle' for domain f30: state: 'disconnected' reason:
'channel event'
event 'reboot' for domain f30
event 'reboot' for domain f30
event 'agent-lifecycle' for domain f30: state: 'connected' reason:
'channel event'
So this change is moving the first more towards the latter. (not sure
what those two reboot events are about)

I think this should also be in the cleanup path of this function,
otherwise an earlier error looks like it would leave priv->fakeReboot
still set. But it makes sense it needs to be here too, so it's saved in
the domain status

Here it would be helpful to have a comment like

sending a shutdown event */

What case does this trigger in? A comment will help too
Couple things I'm curious about is if the VM is left in an inaccurate
state if the fakereboot fails. But qemuProcessFakeReboot will
qemuProcessKill in that case which I think covers it.
The other is, whether we should fully ignore the internal state change,
or just not send the event. By ignoring the state change we are
willfully claiming the VM is still running when we know it isn't. I
guess that should be a small window of time, reset + StartCPUs should be
quick I think, but it's not a pattern I've seen in the code before
