I would have expected that you actually checked that all of these
functions really have no way of returning (even if just because of
an error or mistake). But you can't possibly have done this
verification, or else you would have noticed that there's no
function machine_power_off() in the code base (and I would have
expected your patch to remove the stray declaration instead of
adjusting it).
