Pre-existing as of this patch, but while you are here:
s/traceing/tracing/
unless it occurred earlier in the series, in which case fix it there.

shorter as:
error_setg(errp, "VMWare rpc not open");

and similar for all your other uses of ERROR_CLASS_GENERIC_ERROR

Why two commands?  Why not just 'inject-vmport-action' with a parameter
that says whether the action is 'reboot', 'halt', or something else?

We should fix the bug, rather than document it.

This was confusing to read - there are three bullets, so it looks like
you meant to document three valid DataFormat enum values; but there are
only two.  The comment about 'value' being supplied as valid JSON UTF8
and only later decoded according to 'format' might belong better on
'value', if at all.  On the other hand, I see you are just blindly
copy-and-pasting from 'ringbuf-write'.

Similar comments, but again sourced by copy-and-pasting from an existing
interface.

Interface seems more or less okay, since it copies from existing idioms.
