Ok, nice

As far as I know there is no signal or method call when the button is long pressed, MCE handles the shutdown internally. But if you know of a way to read the raw power button events...
I'll look into it.

I've had a couple of kernel crashes in the events/0 kernel thread. Buttons and keyboard position sensor stopped working except for the power button, which brings ASUI, but I was unable to shutdown because the touchscreen was locked and I couldn't unlock it. So it occurred to me that there may be other circumstances where a power key shutdown could be desirable.
