Subject: [PATCH 1/2] power: reset: Add QEMU virt-ctrl driver

Add a new driver for the 'virt-ctrl' device found on QEMU virt machines
(e.g. m68k). This device provides a simple interface for system reset
and power off [1].

This driver registers a restart handler for system reboot and sets the
global pm_power_off callback for system shutdown. It is designed to be
generic and can be reused by other architectures utilizing this QEMU
device.
