The halt/reboot/poweroff binary shipped from sysvinit source will request a
direct power-off, halt or reboot to the kernel. Just give it the "-f"
option. And don't complain if this causes data loss.
The manpage of systemd's halt/reboot/poweroff command seems to imply it
supports the "-f" option. Again, don't complain if the use of the "-f"
option causes data loss.
That said, it is not that uncommon for the kernel to not find a way to
safely power down a X86 box. I won't go into the gory details of why, but
regressions in kernel power-off support are not unheard of.
