[Xen-devel] [RFC][PATCH] allow dom0 to power off machine using ACPI on shutdown.

[Harry Butterworth <harry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is an evil little patch which allows my dom0 to power off the
machine on shutdown successfully and doesn't break my domU shutdown
behaviour.

The #if bits are ugly and are present because pm_power_off is declared
above in the same #if context, maybe they are not necessary.  I'm not
sure about the solution for ia64.

This powers down the machine without bothering to tell the hypervisor.

I thought this kind of solution was better than trying to import a lot
more ACPI cruft into Xen.  Any thoughts?

Harry.

Allow a domain to call native pm_power_off if present. Fixes dom0
failure to power off on shutdown.
