This patch always enables C_A_D before the call of ctrl_alt_del() in order
to force the reboot.

Hmm, I'm not sure this is a good idea.

Suppose a guest admin is doing a critical update and wants to avoid a
sudden reboot in between. By masking the reboot this would be possible,
with your patch it isn't.

In case a reboot is really mandatory it would still be possible to just
kill the guest.

I'm not completely opposed to the patch, but I think this is a change
which should not be done easily.
