Subject[PATCH] x86_64: Add ACPI reboot option

Add the ability to reboot an x86_64 based machine using the RESET_REG in the
FADT ACPI table.

Signed-off-by: Aaron Durbin <adurbin@google.com>
----

This patch relies on the ACPI reboot mechanism patch.

Using warm reset will be much faster especially on big memory
systems because the BIOS will not go through the memory check.
