Another reason for not applying this is that I believe it wilfully breaks
a bunch of ARM platforms - such as removing the 'g' reboot mode (for gpio
based reboot on PXA), and removing the 's' reboot mode off a bunch of ARM
platforms which have no way to do a hard reboot.

What scares me is that this is revision 7 of this patch set and this is
the first it's been noticed on ARM... Maybe this patch set didn't touch
ARM previously?
