Pressing and holding does turn the power off, without any interaction 
with Dragonfly.

My problem is with pressing and releasing the power button.  That should 
cause the ACPI system to have Dragonfly shut down cleanly.  But it seems 
the interrupt that starts this process never arrives at its handler, and 
it's that that I'm trying to diagnose.
