It allows to shutdown itself via hypercall with any of the 3 reasons:
1) self-reboot
2) shutdown
3) crash
Implementing SCHEDOP_shutdown sub op let us handle crashes gracefully rather
than leading to triple faults if it remains unimplemented.
In addition, the SHUTDOWN_soft_reset reason is used for kexec, to reset
Xen shared pages and other enlightenments and leave a clean slate for the
new kernel without the hypervisor helpfully writing information at
unexpected addresses.

This means handling the new exit reason for Xen but still
crashing on purpose. As we implement each of the hypercalls
we will then return the right return code.

Commit e50caf4a5c ("tracing: convert documentation to rST")
converted docs/devel/tracing.txt to docs/devel/tracing.rst.
We still have several references to the old file, so let's fix them
with the following command:
sed -i s/tracing.txt/tracing.rst/ $(git grep -l docs/devel/tracing.txt)
