ACPI: OSL: Poweroff when encountering a fatal ACPI error
The ACPI spec states that the operating system should respond to a fatal ACPI error by "performing a controlled OS shutdown in a timely fashion". Comply with the ACPI specification by powering off the system when ACPICA signals a fatal ACPI error. Users can still disable this behavior by using the acpi.poweroff_on_fatal kernel option to work around firmware bugs.
