Yes, as far as I can tell this won't be supported in 0.6.3, QEmu has no support
for a 'reboot' operation, only shutdown. This could be worked around in libvirt
but that would be made with "shutdown and start", not exactly equivalent to
a reboot at the QEmu level though.

So not for 5.4, maybe in 5.5, either though QEmu or via a libvirt workaround.

Yep, this is a current limitation of QEMU, so fixing this is blocked on getting the RFE in QEMU.
