Sorry I took so long to get to this, still behind on my email...

This is good as far as it goes, and simple/clean enough to merge  
without going through pending. But when we get init worked out, the non  
-f versions of these need to poke init and tell that to shut down the  
system, either via signal or via /dev/initctl. (The current version is  
basically the -f behavior.)

I also note that the various times I've implemented this myself, I've  
used the syscall instead of the wrapper. (Neither are particularly  
portable that I'm aware, and the wrapper doesn't provide the "arg"  
which lets you do more stuff...)
