Hmm, interesting stuff.

Note that halt is not called during normal shutdown, but is only a
compat fallback for the old sysv "halt" command. If you want this to
work we probably need to come up with a way to pass the string from
systemctl to the final systemd-shutdown process.

(A bit of background: systemctl normally will just tell PID 1 to
shutdown cleanly, via D-Bus. As last step of that PID 1 will execute the
special systemd-shutdown binary -- which will then also run as PID 1 --
which will do some final shutdown steps and then invoke the reboot()
syscall -- see src/core/shutdown.c for details)

So, before we continue with this, could you point me to some
docs/commits/code which explain a bit how the new reboot() syscall
semantics work? i.e. what the possible params are and such?

One way to implement this could be to add add a new parameter to
systemctl which is written to /run/systemd/reboot-param or so if
specified. systemd-shutdown would then look for that file and pass it to
the reboot() syscall.
