[7962.081194] Power down. - The system "halts" but does not power down.

Patches posted (v2) https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/29/408 the Tboot maintainer acked them.
These are still working towards inclusion for the 3.2 release. I don't see us backporting them to F15 at this time. I'm going to move this bug to rawhide, where we'll see them show up naturally when it gets rebased. Konrad, if you have an alternative suggestion please let me know.
I believe we're on v4 now, but still not included in linux-next or Linus' tree: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.general/26466
Yeah, some patches for the support are trickling in.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

And just in case folks are curious - the patches are in v3.11.
