qemu-system-ppc : file systems are not shutting down clean

Launching a VM that has been shutdown gracefully ( via init 0) typically requires fsck to run when it is started ;
This indications data integrity issues;

 The symptom can be seen by observing the fsck running when the VM restarted.

Install 14-04-LTS to a VM and the issue can be seen ;

mymac="52:54:00:12:34:10"
T=` echo $mymac | cut -d: -f5,6 | sed s/\://`
mytap="tap$T"

tunctl -d $mytap
tunctl -t $mytap
