AFAICT ad_shutdown can't tell whether it's called for a reboot or a
poweroff, it's just told to "shut down". So maybe it's one if, but it's
somewhere above ata-disk.c but below reboot(RB_POWEROFF).

You can register for a shutdown even that *does* get to know the "howto"
variable; we do this quite a bit on some of our platforms that need special
handling at power-off versus halt.
extern void jsrxnle_poweroff_devices(void *junk, int howto);
/* Registering power-off handler to be called at the system shutdown */
EVENTHANDLER_REGISTER(shutdown_final, jsrxnle_poweroff_devices, NULL,
SHUTDOWN_PRI_LAST + 10);
The howto argument can be checked for RB_POWEROFF:
if (howto & RB_POWEROFF) {
/* Spin Down */
}
