up to:  a729691b541f: x86/reboot: Limit Dell Optiplex 990 quirk to early BIOS versions


A set of updates for the 86 reboot code:

  - Limit the Dell Optiplex 990 quirk to early BIOS versions to avoid the
    full 'power cycle' alike reboot which is required for the buggy BIOSes.

  - Update documentation for the reboot=pci command line option and
    document how DMI platform quirks can be overridden.



Thanks,

	tglx
