Kvm guest shutdown without network

Hello,

Recently we had an issue with the networking on one of our hosts using Cloudmin with KVM guests.

So we found out that there is no way to do a clean shutdown on a guest without networking. (or I'm wrong) As I understand the code in Cloudmin there falbask stages as follows: - try to make an RPC call to the gests webmin (need networking on the host) - try to login with SSH to the guest and execute shutdown command (also need networking on the host) - wait some configured time for the previous commands to complete - if all previous failed send "SIGKILL" to the guest kvm process

I think there should be implemented some way to clean shutdown a guest without networking on the host because sometimes clean shutdown is a must to avoid critical databases crash.
