Michael Brown 648657b776 [block] Provide abstraction to allow system to be quiesced 
When performing a SAN boot via INT 13, there is no way for the
operating system to indicate that it has finished using the INT 13 SAN
device.  We therefore have no opportunity to clean up state before the
loaded operating system's native drivers take over.  This can cause
problems when booting Windows, which tends not to be forgiving of
unexpected system state.

Windows will typically write a flag to the SAN device as the last
action before transferring control to the native drivers.  We can use
this as a heuristic to bring the system to a quiescent state (without
performing a full shutdown); this provides us an opportunity to
temporarily clean up state that could otherwise prevent a successful
Windows boot.
