RELENG_8 -- shutdown -p no longer powers off boxes

Looks like some form of regression in RELENG_8, between the dates of
2010/03/30 and 2010/04/22. My 2010/03/30 kernel (built from RELENG_8
source dated 2010/03/30 @ 10:30 PDT) doesn't have this problem.
Symptom: shutdown -p no longer powers off either of my systems; instead,
the box reboots (e.g. shutdown -p behaves like shutdown -r). Systems
are a Supermicro X7SBL-LN2 board, and a Supermicro X7SBA board. These
are server-class boards. I have not tried using the physical power
switch yet.
Looks like others have reported the same on a different board, though I
haven't booted verbose to see if the behaviour is identical:

I went digging through HEAD commits between the above dates and wasn't
able to find much other than this, which appears to be the HEAD commit
that was MFC'd to RELENG_8:
http://freshbsd.org/2010/04/02/23/04/31
So I'm not sure where/what fixed this in HEAD, but it should probably be
MFC'd sooner than the 4 week window.
