Does it really make sense to export these to modules? I find the powerpc way of having a machine descriptor structure with these (and other) function pointers in it a bit cleaner, since it gives you one place to plug it all in. I'd recommend that you consider doing that here as well, for these three and potentially other cases in the future. (See arch/powerpc/include/asm/machdep.h, struct machdep_calls).
+void machine_halt(void)
+{
+ machine_shutdown();
+ while (1);
+}
+
+void machine_power_off(void)
+{
+ machine_shutdown();
+ if (pm_power_off)
+ pm_power_off();
+}Printing something here along the lines of "System halted, OK to power off" is useful. -Olof
