I don't think this is much different than people wanting to type "shutdown -h now" and the machine power *off*. It *can* be done with modern motherboards and I believe, ATX power supplies. If one simply tells the BIOS that when the power button is held down and it forces a poweroff, I'd hope you're running a journaling FS and didn't have processes running in the background.
