    sys/platform/vkernel/platform init.c 
  Log:
  From within a virtual kernel, make /sbin/shutdown and /sbin/halt actually
  halt and exit the vkernel, and make /sbin/reboot automatically re-exec
  a fresh vkernel.
  
  Talk about creating a clean slate!  Having reboot re-exec the vkernel
  is really nice.  The kernel development cycle time is now down to around
  18 seconds, reboot -n -q to root login prompt, and 28 seconds for a normal
  reboot.  That's running a vkernel with a normal RC startup and as a
  bridged DHCP client.
Hmm, now that reboot re-execs the vkernel, what's the way to actually 
shutdown it without rebooting and without triggering an fsck upon the 
next start?
