Subject: [PATCH] apm: Remove CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF in favor of kernel
 parameter

Remove CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF like CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF which
has been done for linux-2.2.14pre8 (http://lkml.org/lkml/1999/11/23/3).

Re-introducing CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF got nack-ed. Stephen didn't bother
to remove CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF, let's get rid of it now.
