         * I can't find any EFI API that allows us to put the CPU to
         * sleep.  The CpuSleep() function is defined in CpuLib.h, but
         * isn't part of any exposed protocol so we have no way to
         * call it.
         *
         * The EFI shell doesn't seem to bother sleeping the CPU; it
         * just sits there idly burning power.
         *
         * If a shutdown is in progess, there may be nothing to
         * generate an interrupt since the timer is disabled in the
         * first step of ExitBootServices().
