The same is also true for qemuarm, we work around it in sato by munging
the shutdown.desktop file to all restart and having the qemu scripts
start qemu with -norestart.

Clearly we should also do the shutdown.desktop munging for qemuppc

What do people think to the idea of putting something into the image for
those two specific machines which aliases poweroff to reboot?
