Oh, I'd take the revert on cleanliness grounds any day of the week. But
if that broken fw has snuck out and someone comes and complains that it
wouldn't reboot properly, then I'd have to revert the revert.

And looking at that reboot_dmi_table[] of who's who of broken BIOSes,
one entry less ain't gonna make it prettier.
