Shutdown does not finish output on LCD

[David Albert <david_albert%comcast.net@localhost>]

When shutting down a Qube2 or Raq2 running 4.0 GENERIC,
the serial port shows shutdown properly:

   *** FINAL System shutdown message from root@ ***
   System going down IMMEDIATELY

   Dec 16 13:31:51 shutdown: halt by root:
   Dec 16 13:31:51  shutdown: halt by root:
   Dec 16 13:32:00  syslogd: Exiting on signal 15
   syncing disks... done
   unmounting file systems... done

   The operating system has halted.
   Please press any key to reboot.

However the last thing shown on the LCD panel is:

   [Shutting down]
      > swap1

This makes it hard to know when it is save to turn
off power unless you have a serial console connected.
