I have a knack of doing that.
I just type `halt -pfn'.
Thats fine but from what I can tell, it does not try to remount the file
system before powering off.
Why is this patch better?
It allows the user to configure how a power off sequence is defined
beyond the "Halt" via inserting a new profile module. In the default,
processes are frozen and the file system is remounted as read only.
