/dev/initctl is a pipe created by init, so if you
start an actual init inside your guest, it will create
that pipe, then listen to it and once the reboot (or
shutdown) calls through the pipe, issue the reboot to
the kernel ...
which kind of setup you use is your choice ...

it's no device, and you can not create devices inside
a guest anyways ...
