I haven't hard back from my last question so I'll try to interpret your
original answer differently.

The proposed functionality is a last effort at rebooting the system when
the UI is hung.  In such case the rest of the system could still be
alive and as such should be given a chance to reboot more gracefully
than when using emergency_reset().

Hope this helps clarifying my position.  I would be more than happy to
re-work the commit message if need be.  Please consider getting back to me.

Mathieu.
