Right, so you would need shutdown_guests to block until everything is in
fact shut down:

while box in `virsh list --all | grep '^ -'|grep -qv 'shut off'` ; do
  virsh shutdown all
  sleep 1
done

Note that currently libvirt-bin.conf has

stop on runlevel [!2345]

There is a bug in sendsigs that does not wait for these upstart jobs to
die before moving on to the end of the shutdown... so really, we also
need to fix that bug before the technique above will work.
