x86-power-control was created mainly because of the tight timing 
requirements around the GPIOs to track host power state.  It could be 
adapted, but may not make sense if the GPIO layout isn't the same.

phosphor-state-manager 
(https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-state-manager) is the OpenBMC 
community power state manager.  It is designed for flexibility in how 
different systems change power state, so I believe it is probably better 
suited to adapt to this configuration.
