Research direction

Start by reading issue #7 and tracing how hyperkit currently responds to OSX power events and how the external monitor signals it. Determine where VCPU freezing could be integrated; done means hyperkit watches those events itself and freezes the VCPUs without the external monitor or signal path.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement help wanted

As noted in #7 it would be better if hyperkit would watch for OSX power events itself and freeze the VCPUs rather than relying on an external monitor to do so and send signals.
