Thanks for investigating the problem. I don't know how to deal with 
that, we discussed with Michael Tokarev about the shutdown / reboot 
problem and we agree the right solution is to have the kernel to notify 
the cinit's parent when sys_reboot is called.

The present solution is a temporary 'hack' to fix up the current kernel 
leak functionality. So yes, adding a run level config option may do the 
trick for the moment.

Good catch. Will fix that.
