mainlining shenanigans

Virtual machines often use an ACPI power button event to tell the machine to shut down gracefully. Provide an extremely lightweight "tiny power button" driver to handle this event by signaling init directly, rather than running a separate daemon (such as acpid or systemd-logind) that adds to startup time and VM image complexity. The kernel configuration defines the default signal to send init, and userspace can change this signal via a module parameter. Suggested-by: "Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
