In general - good cleanup. But:

This isn't even a kernel module so I've just nuked all these MODULE_*
calls.

symbol_get() calls are high on my list of items that indicate a piece of
code is probably ill-structured.
While RTCs often deal with power the RTC really only wants to deal with
time and so power stuff should rather go elsewhere. I suggest to take a
look at drivers/power/reset/. A small driver there could set pm_power_off
approriately. drivers/power/reset/restart-poweroff.c is a very compact
example.

I'm amazed nobody of the church of speel patchology has caught this earlier.

So halt and power_off no do the same?
