This patch is needed to make ipmi_poweroff working on powerpc.
It straightens the poweroff procedure to match with other
architectures.
At the moment powerpc plattforms can define their poweroff method
using
ppc_md.power_off. The only way for plattform independent driver
(ipmi_poweroff)
to register it's poweroff function is to use pm_power_off. So
machine_power_off
should check whether pm_power_off has been set and if so it should
be used.
If not, plattform dependent ppc_md.power_off should be called.
It seems like this should be the other way around. Meaning
ppc_md.power_off should be called first than pm_power_off. If a
platform provides a power off mechanism that should presuming take
precedence over the ipmi_poweroff.
