Subject: [PATCH v4] panic/reboot: allow specifying reboot_mode for panic only

From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@...ia.com>

Allow specifying reboot_mode for panic only. This is needed on systems
where ramoops is used to store panic logs, and user wants to use warm
reset to preserve those, while still having cold reset on normal reboots.
