microblaze is missing a generic architecture-wide power off mechanism.

To enable KUnit for microblaze it is necessary for KUnit to shut down
the machine in a way that QEMU will recognize. The machines emulated by
QEMU do not provide machine-specific power off functionality which could
be used.
However at least the petalogix-s3adsp1800 machine will abort if an
unaligned instruction is executed. An ugly message will be printed but
that is not an issue for KUnit.

Make use of this to provide a power off handler.

This is quite hacky. But I didn't find a better solution.
