[PATCH v2] grub-shell: Boot PowerPC using PMU instead of CUDA for power management

[Glenn Washburn]

A recent refactoring of CUDA command code has exposed a bug in OpenBIOS[1]
which was causing system powerdown and system reset to fail, thus causing
the Qemu instance to hang. This in turn caused the grub-shell command to
timeout causing it to return an error code when the test actually completed
successfully.

Since it could be a while before the patch fixing this issue in OpenBIOS
filters down to the average distro, switch to PMU to allow powerdowns and
reboots to work as expected.

This is a correction of the commit message from patch #8 of the patch series
titled "More test fixes/improvements". The changes remain the same.

    -    At some point it looks like the defualt machine for qemu-system-ppc 
started
    -    using CUDA as a backend for power management. This causes the machine 
to
    -    throw an exception and not actually power down the VM[1]. Switching to 
PMU
    -    allows power downs and reboots to work as expceted.
