Because of the virtual machine aspect, you would probably want
everything inside to shutdown cleanly before terminating the user-mode
kernel.

Would the virtual machine be able to receive a signal that equates to a
shutdown? Perhaps a HUP? This chould then be accomplished under
daemontools with svc -h.

Another idea is hacking daemontools to use the mconsole functionality in
order to do a halt.
