Subject: [10/18] x86: ASUS P4S800 reboot=bios quirk

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Leann Ogasawara <leann.ogasawara@...onical.com>

commit 4832ddda2ec4df96ea1eed334ae2dbd65fc1f541 upstream.

Bug reporter noted their system with an ASUS P4S800 motherboard would
hang when rebooting unless reboot=b was specified.  Their dmidecode
didn't contain descriptive System Information for Manufacturer or
Product Name, so I used their Base Board Information to create a
reboot quirk patch.  The bug reporter confirmed this patch resolves
the reboot hang.

ASUS P4S800 will hang when rebooting unless reboot=b is specified.
Add a quirk to reboot through the bios.
