I have this patch designed to avoid shutting down the boot processor
during shutdown, which is either the job of the (ACPI) BIOS if we're
powering down, or else is undesirable (if reboot is desired). Is it ok
to commit?

I think you should make sure that it is online first, therefore making
sure it is the last processor being so.
