This patch adds support for the power button on future IBM cell blades.
It actually doesn't shut down the machine. Instead it exposes an
input device /dev/input/event0 to userspace which sends KEY_POWER
if power button has been pressed.
haldaemon actually recognizes the button, so a plattform independent acpid
replacement should handle it correctly.
