381fdaa163 Kernel/SysFS: Make it clear that some components must be created in boot
Using the phrase "create" doesn't give information on whether the object
must be allocated or a failure to do so can be handled gracefully.
Therefore, we must use better phrase for such purpose, so "must_create"
for the allocate-and-construct static methods is definitely good choice.

478f543899 Kernel/SysFS: Prevent allocation for component name during construction
Instead, allocate before constructing the object and pass NonnullOwnPtr
of KString to the object if needed. Some classes can determine their
names as they have a known attribute to look for or have a static name.

8d0dbdeaac Kernel+Userland: Introduce a new way to reboot and poweroff the machine
This change removes the halt and reboot syscalls, and create a new
mechanism to change the power state of the machine.
Instead of how power state was changed until now, put a SysFS node as
writable only for the superuser, that with a defined value, can result
in either reboot or poweroff.
In the future, a power group can be assigned to this node (which will be
the GroupID responsible for power management).

This opens an opportunity to permit to shutdown/reboot without superuser
permissions, so in the future, a userspace daemon can take control of
this node to perform power management operations without superuser
permissions, if we enforce different UserID/GroupID on that node.

33f033066c Kernel: Unify BIOS and ACPI components in the SysFS firmware directory
Both should reside in the SysFS firmware directory which is normally
located in /sys/firmware.
Also, apply some OOM-safety patterns when creating the BIOS and ACPI
directories.
