Kernel for only power-off purpose.

[Tetsuo Handa <penguin-newbie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

This is just an idea, but do you think
it is nice if there is a kernel
dedicated for doing power off operation?

Some kernels, especially SMP enabled ones,
cannot power off after "power down" message.

I want the system power off
by setting the power-off only kernel entry
as the default entry of the grub and
executing /sbin/reboot command
(that likely succeeds to reboot on any kernels)
instead of executing /sbin/poweroff command
(that fails to power off on some kernels).

Yes it would be possible if I use an initrd
as the root fs, but I thought it would be
convenient if I don't need to use an initrd.

Thanks.
