Hi all, This took a lot of fiddling, so I figured I'd document my findings here in case it helps anybody else. If you don't want to have CONFIG_ACPI in your kernel, but still would like to shutdown QEMU, the following works for the q35 machine type:
ioperm(0x604, 2, 1); outw(1 << 13, 0x604); Fortunately it's quite simple in the end. This should save folks a lot of future ACPI trudging for something so simple. Enjoy, Jason
