Subject: [PATCH] apm: make apm=power-off configurable like apm=realmode-power-off

On some systems (with broken BIOSes?) apm=power-off should be appended
as kernel parameter. apm=realmode-power-off is configurable during 
compile-time. apm=power-off should be configurable likewise.

On non-SMP systems apm=power-off is the default. For kernels with SMP
support it is not.
