it will send the proper IPMI commands to do this. This is supported on
several platforms.
-There is a module parameter named "poweroff_control" that may either be zero
-(do a power down) or 2 (do a power cycle, power the system off, then power
-it on in a few seconds). Setting ipmi_poweroff.poweroff_control=x will do
-the same thing on the kernel command line. The parameter is also available
-via the proc filesystem in /proc/ipmi/poweroff_control. Note that if the
-system does not support power cycling, it will always to the power off.

Note that if you have ACPI enabled, the system will prefer using ACPI to
power off.
