Some VIA southbridges contain a flag in the ACPI register space that 
indicates whether an abnormal poweroff has occured, presumably with the 
intention that it can be cleared on clean shutdown. Some BIOSes check 
this flag at resume time, and will re-POST the system rather than jump 
back to the OS if it's set. Clearing it at boot time appears to be 
sufficient. I'm not sure if drivers/pci/quirks.c is the right place to 
do it, but I'm not sure where would be cleaner.
