The string "poweroff" is used 819 times in today's upstream kernel.
"power_off" is used 1,496 times, presumably mostly in variable names.
"power-off" is used 145 times.

So, yes, I can change all newly introduced variable and function names
from poweroff to power_off, and all newly introduced descriptive text
from poweroff to power-off if that makes you happy. It won't improve
consistency, though, since many of the current poweroff functions
are named "something_poweroff". Hope you don't expect me to change
all those function names as well.
