    Subject[PATCH 1/3] X86: Revamp reboot behaviour to match Windows more closely
    Date
    Windows reboots by hitting the ACPI reboot vector (if available), trying
    the keyboard controller, hitting the ACPI reboot vector again and then
    giving the keyboard controller one last go. Rework our reboot process a
    little to default to matching this behaviour, although we'll fall through
    to attempting a triple fault if nothing else works.
