Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Make ACPI the default reset option
Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2007 11:02:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070716180221.GA5370@google.com> (raw)
Make ACPI be the default reset method for x86_64. If the reset mechanism fails
using ACPI, it will default to using the keyboard controller.
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.
