I don't know enough C to write the driver.  
The signal number's all I need, just looking to invent a "button" that
does a pre-defined action when pushed.

I was thinking I could use the hotplug system but I don't think hotplug
gets triggered when I attach/define a device to the guest.

I think Neale did that code back then before z/VM got the support for
signal shutdown. With the current kernel you would write your own
driver and use register_external_interrupt to have your handler pick
up the interrupt. Note that you don't have anything but the number of
the signal, no parameters.
