Hello Thiemo,
my reboot patch for MIPS
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-09/msg00082.html)
is only partially included in Daniel's patch.
As far as I know, a MIPS triggers the reboot exception at power-on.
(at least for MIPS 4KEc), so my patch uses the same code for reboot
exception and power-on.
Why do we need a special QEMU reset device in the Linux kernel?
QEMU might emulate existing real reset devices as well...
Stefan
