Subject: Re: reboot via bios on X86_64?

The default behaviour is now to use the ACPI reboot vector, and the 
behaviour was tweaked somewhat to make it work better with a variety of 
machines. If 3.3 doesn't work then we've got a problem, but I could 
absolutely believe that 2.6.32 would fail to work.
