I don't know exactly what is going on here, so I'm not very suited to
answer this.  The difference just from reading the C code seems to be
that it calls s390_cpu_load_normal instead of s390_ipl_prepare_cpu, and
that it calls subsystem_reset instead of qemu_devices_reset.

For a more generic name I'd go with SHUTDOWN_CAUSE_OS_BOOT (or
OS_BOOTING, or BOOT_OS), but an s390-specific name is of course fine as
well, especially if you have a specific moniker for the "thing that IPL
gives control to".
