The latest changes in 2.3.99-pre1 broke apm=power-off.

What happens is that the apm starts kapmd, which is set to immediately exit for SMP. It then unregisters the poweroff handler
making it nonfunctional.

I made a temporary fix by making kapmd sit in an idle loop in SMP mode. It's a bit messy as it's soaking up idle time
when it doesn't need to. Hopefully someone will come up with a better one... :-)
