and it breaks my boot test script.  Looks like it's actually working 
mostly fine, I'm just not getting the "reboot: System halted" message 
that I'm checking for to make sure the system actually went down 
cleanly.

I'm not sure if this is expected behavior in RT land, or if we've got 
some sort of bug.  It sort of smells like we're losing the last printk() 
line...
