Don't ask me why, but bisection shows this commit to be the cause of the
failure to power off:
commit c10997f6575f476ff38442fa18fd4a0d80345f9d
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

    Kobject: convert drivers/* from kobject_unregister() to kobject_put()

Because it seemed somewhat unlikely, I have double checked this by doing an
extra compilation for this commit and its predecessor.
