I think FreeBSD supports something similar already. It's a little outdated
by modern computing standards, but it used to be called a "halt" or a
"reboot".
Advantage of those outdated concepts used to be that you could replace your
/kernel, adding for example a new driver for the new hardware, or after a
cvsup. Just curious, but are you planning to add such functionality to S4?
