You can try the kernel parameter "reboot=(reboot mode)" to try and make 
the system reboot in different ways:

    warm   Don't set the cold reboot flag
    cold   Set the cold reboot flag
    bios   Reboot by jumping through the BIOS (only for X86_32)
    smp    Reboot by executing reset on BSP or other CPU (only for X86_32)
    triple Force a triple fault (init)
    kbd    Use the keyboard controller. cold reset (default)
    acpi   Use the RESET_REG in the FADT
    efi    Use efi reset_system runtime service
    pci    Use the so-called "PCI reset register", CF9
    force  Avoid anything that could hang.

If a non-default mode works better, then you should send a report to 
linux-kernel about it. Contrary to the list above, I think acpi is the 
default at this point.
