I just removed the power down part, as i don't assume you can control machine
power by domain.
And the "press any key to reboot" message with the handling for this also
might not be necessary, as all this is stuff which should be controlled
outside the kernel running in a domain IMHO.

But i don't say you have to apply the full patch. See it as a kind of
proposal. I'm no official developer, i just try to help here.
