[RFC/PATCH] Maple: Use RTAS power off methods if available

Some versions of SLOF have the RTAS power-off/restart methods
implemented, if they're available they should be used in preference
to the nvram based methods.

Not sure what the best way to do this is, this is the easy approach
although it leaves the system unrebootable until the callbacks get
rewired. The other option would be to do the check in maple_restart
etc. when they're called.
