OK. I see the following file. I just need to change
"ON_SHUTDOWN=suspend" to "ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown"? After I change it,
then I can restart the host. How to know whether the guested have been
gracefully shutdown or not? With "ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown", the host will
be shutdown only after all the guests are shutdown? Thanks.

pengy at hydrogen:/usr$ dpkg-query -L libvirt-bin|grep guests
/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt-guests.sh
pengy at hydrogen:/usr$ grep ON_SHUTDOWN /usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt-guests.sh
ON_SHUTDOWN=suspend
    if [ "x$ON_SHUTDOWN" = xshutdown ]; then
        ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown
