This seems incomplete.  These, in arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c

extern int reboot_mode;
extern enum reboot_type reboot_type;
extern int reboot_force;
extern int reboot_default;

should surely be moved into include/linux/reboot.h.  But `enum
reboot_type' remains stuck over in
arch/x86/include/asm/emergency-restart.h.
