1. A method for an engine, comprising: adjusting, via a controller, an engine torque actuator including a scroll valve coupled to an inlet of an outer scroll of a multi-scroll exhaust turbine and coupled to each cylinder exhaust port of the engine;the adjusting including moving the scroll valve towards a closed position in response to an indication of engine deactivation while the engine still rotates;directly injecting fuel to cylinders of the engine via direct injectors coupled directly to the cylinders; andadjusting cylinder intake or exhaust valve timing responsive to an operating parameter during engine operation. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication of engine deactivation includes a deceleration fuel shut-off, and wherein valve timing is adjusted based on a position of the scroll valve position to adjust an amount of internal EGR delivered to the engine. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the one scroll is a first, outer scroll, the multi-scroll exhaust turbine including a second, inner scroll, the scroll valve not coupled to an inlet of the second scroll. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the scroll valve is coupled downstream of an exhaust manifold coupled to each cylinder of the engine. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein a timing of moving the scroll valve to the closed position is based on a transmission event. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein moving the scroll valve to the closed position includes moving the scroll valve to the closed position based on one or more of turbine speed or boost pressure during the indication of engine deactivation. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the moving based on turbine speed includes moving the scroll valve based on a difference between an estimated or measured turbine speed during the indication of engine deactivation relative to a turbine speed deceleration profile and a difference between measured and desired boost pressure, the scroll valve moved towards a fully closed position as the difference increases. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising adjusting intake throttle position during the indication of engine deactivation based on the moving of the scroll valve. 9. The method of claim 7, further comprising moving a wastegate coupled across the exhaust turbine to a more closed position in response to the indication of engine deactivation, the wastegate position based on the scroll valve position. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein moving the wastegate includes, during a first condition, moving the wastegate to the more closed position as the scroll valve is moved to the closed position;during a second condition, moving the wastegate to the more closed position after the scroll valve is moved to the closed position; andduring a third condition, moving the wastegate to the more closed position before the scroll valve is moved to the closed position. 11. A method for a boosted engine, comprising: via a controller: deactivating direct fuel injection to an engine;while the engine spins towards rest, adjusting a scroll valve coupled to an outer scroll of a multi-scroll exhaust turbine based on deviation of estimated turbine speed relative to a turbine speed deceleration profile; andadjusting cylinder valve timing. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein deactivating fuel injection to the engine includes deactivating in response to a tip-out, and wherein the cylinder valve timing is adjusted responsive to scroll valve position. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein a timing of adjusting the scroll valve is based on a transmission event during the engine spin-down. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the adjusting includes, as the deviation of the estimated or measured turbine speed from the turbine speed deceleration profile increases, moving the scroll valve towards a fully closed position. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising moving a wastegate coupled across the exhaust turbine towards a more closed position while the engine spins towards rest, the position of the wastegate based on the scroll valve position. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising adjusting, intake throttle position, while the engine spins towards rest, the adjusting based on the scroll valve adjustment. 17. An engine system, comprising: an engine including selectively deactivatable fuel injectors;a turbocharger for providing a boosted aircharge to the engine, the turbocharger including an intake compressor and an exhaust turbine, the exhaust turbine including a first outer scroll and a second inner scroll;a scroll valve coupled between an exhaust manifold of the engine and an inlet of the first outer scroll;a variable cylinder valve timing system coupled to the engine to adjust intake and/or exhaust valve timing;a wastegate included in a bypass coupled between an inlet and an outlet of the exhaust turbine; anda controller with computer readable instructions for, adjusting the cylinder valve timing responsive to an operating parameter; andin response to torque demand being lower than a threshold, selectively deactivating fuel injection to the engine; andwhile the engine spins down to rest, decreasing an opening of the scroll valve, the decreasing based on a difference between an estimated or measured turbine speed and a desired spin-down turbine speed profile during the spin-down. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the controller includes further instructions for coordinating an opening of the wastegate during the engine spin-down based on the decreasing an opening of the scroll valve to further reduce the difference between the estimated or measured turbine speed and the desired spin-down turbine speed profile. 19. The system of claim 17, further comprising an EGR system configured to recirculate exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold to an intake manifold of the engine, wherein the controller includes further instructions for adjusting an EGR valve of the EGR system to decrease an amount of EGR during the decreasing of an opening of the scroll valve. 20. The system of claim 17, wherein the controller includes further instructions for, during a first engine restart from the spin-down, restarting the engine with the scroll valve closed; andduring a second engine restart from the spin-down, restarting the engine with the scroll valve open, a duration of engine deactivation preceding the first engine restart longer than a duration of engine deactivation preceding the second engine restart.
