The name of this structure is too generic IMV.  There are many things
that it might apply to in principle.

What about calling power_off_handler or sys_off_handler as it need not
be about power at all?

I didn't like much the 'power' either, but couldn't come up with a
better variant. Will change it in v3, thank you.
