Subject: RE: [PATCH] reboot: perform warm/cold reset correctly for CF9 type

The thing is that the existing "warm" and "cold" means something different, I believe (skip post vs do post.)  It is possible it just works, but it would be good to know which platforms or works on.

Also, why do you need the cf9 boot method at all?  All current systems * should * use the ACPI method.
