Hi,
I the booting process I see the message
"Power off control detected".

It is generated from arch/sparc/kernel/auxio.c
where, without tracing through the code, it seems
to allocate an io address with access to the prom
power off node.

Does this mean that it is possible to get the machine
to power off, rather than simply returning to the
prom prompt? ala ATX systems for x86..

If this is possible but there is not userspace
program to take advantage of the fact then would
it really be as simple as a couple of lines of
code?
