Subject: [PATCH 1/3 v2] x86: ce4100: implement pm_poweroff

The CE4100 platform is currently missing a proper pm_poweroff implementation
leading to poweroff making the CPU spin forever and the CE4100 platform does
not enter a low-power mode where the external Power Management Unit can
properly power off the system. Power off on this platform is implemented pretty
much like reboot, by writing to the SoC built-in 8051 microcontroller mapped at
I/O port 0xcf9, the value 0x4.

Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <ffainelli@...ebox.fr>

Changes since v1:
- added a more detail comment about how the power off method works internally
