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.
