It is also worth noting that the documentation says reboot=s[mp]# whereas in fact only reboot=s# parse correctly. I consider this to be a bug.
If we centralized the parser, we could take a string like
"reboot=bios,smp32,warm"
and parse it into:
reboot_cpu = 32 reboot_mode = "bw"
... and pass the information in that form to the arch layer. I don't think we can do more parsing at that in the main kernel.
