But I tested it on mainline, and mainline exhibits the never-powers-off symptom, whereas ed50d6cbc394cd0966469d3e249353c9dd1d38b9 demonstrates the powers-off-after-20-seconds symptom. So we _may_ be dealing with two bugs here, and your patch might have fixed the first, but that success is obscured by the second. I guess I need to prepare a tree which has ed50d6cbc394cd0966469d3e249353c9dd1d38b9 at its tip. (Wonders how to do that). btw, mainline (plus this patch, not that it changed anything) prints <stopping disk stuff> Disabling non-boot CPUs CPU 1 is now offline and that's it. This machine has eight cpus.
