More generally it would be nice to have the ability to configure what
happens when the system is shut down. For example, if you have an UPS
and shut down as a result of a power failure, it would be very
convenient to be able to send a signal on a serial port to turn
off the inverter. I have a (non-tested) LKM here that attaches as a
shutdown event handler, and can perform such serial port actions.
