Unfortunately, neither are listed in IEEE1275.

Further, "interpret" is an optional client interface command, and will 
not exist on systems without the Forth user interface (like PIBS, IBM's 
firmware for embedded PPC). I think the flow will need to go something 
like this:

grub_cmd_shutdown (...) {
        grub_ieee1275_interpret ("shut-down", 0); /* Apple Open Firmware */
	grub_ieee1275_interpret ("power-off", 0); /* IBM Open Firmware and Sun 
OpenBoot */
	return grub_error(GRUB_ERR_INVALID_COMMAND, "don't know how to shut 
down");
}

grub_cmd_reboot (...) {
        grub_ieee1275_interpret ("reset-all", 0);
        hard_reset ();
}

/* Manually jump to firmware's System Reset exception handler. */
hard_reset:
        lis             3, 0xfff0
        ori             3, 3, 0x0100
        mtctr   r3
        mfmsr   3
        ori             3, 3, MSR_IP
        mtmsr   3
        bctr
