It's not always desirable for a system to halt. The hypervisor has a
number of places where it does request a halt, and this might be useful
for debugging, but not always in a production environment. Add a
hypervisor command line parameter, halt_action, which allows the
overriding of any halt requests. The parameter takes the form of
halt_action=halt, halt_action=reboot or halt_action=reboot:20
for halting, rebooting after a default 10 seconds, or rebooting after
a specified number of seconds. The default is halt_action=halt
and preserves existing behavior.
