A realm cannot be reset, it must be recreated from scratch. The RMM
specification defines states of a Realm as NEW -> ACTIVE -> SYSTEM_OFF,
after which the Realm can only be destroyed. A PCSI_SYSTEM_RESET call,
which normally reboots the system, puts the Realm in SYSTEM_OFF state.
QEMU does not support recreating a VM. Normally, a reboot request by the
guest causes all devices to reset, which cannot work for a Realm.
Indeed, loading images into Realm memory and changing the PC is only
allowed for a Realm in NEW state. Resetting the images for a Realm in
SYSTEM_OFF state will cause QEMU to crash with a bus error.
Handle reboot requests by the guest more gracefully, by indicating to
runstate.c that the vCPUs of a Realm are not resettable, and that QEMU
should exit.
