So if I understand this correctly, you'd like to manually turn off devices
during a power off. I believe the ACPI spec recommends this for S4 (but also
to leave on wake devices), but not necessarily S5. Still it may be a good

Yeah, that's what I had in mind when I mentioned PMSG_FREEZE. It seems
to replace "shutdown" in many ways, is this correct?
