x86-power-control was created to solve specific timing issues with our platforms.  It wasn't designed to be a flexible solution for the community to use.

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.

Rather than add build modifications to x86-power-control for your needs, I'd recommend that you look at phosphor-state-manager which was designed to be customizable for different systems.

Thanks,
