Function machine_halt (resp. native_machine_halt) is empty for x86
architectures. When command 'halt -f' is invoked, the message
"System halted." is displayed but this is not really true because
all CPUs are still running.
There are also similar inconsistencies for other arches (some uses
power-off for halt or forever-loop with IRQs enabled/disabled).
IMO there should be used the same approach for all architectures
OR what does the message "System halted" really mean?
