Awesome, thanks.  I like simplifications :).  I was hijacking
notifier_call to indicate whether or not the restart notifier was
registered at all (because it's conditional on the particular chipset
having a "ps_hold" function).  But, nice to know
unregister_restart_handler() does the right thing if the handler wasn't
registered in the first place.
