    x86/reboot: Remove VersaLogic Menlow reboot quirk · e6d36a65
    Michael D Labriola authored
    This commit removes the reboot quirk originally added by commit
    e19e074b ("x86: Fix reboot problem on VersaLogic Menlow boards").
    
    Testing with a VersaLogic Ocelot (VL-EPMs-21a rev 1.00 w/ BIOS
    6.5.102) revealed the following regarding the reboot hang
    problem:
    
    - v2.6.37 reboot=bios was needed.
    
    - v2.6.38-rc1: behavior changed, reboot=acpi is needed,
      reboot=kbd and reboot=bios results in system hang.
    
    - v2.6.38: VersaLogic patch (e19e074b "x86: Fix reboot problem on
      VersaLogic Menlow boards") was applied prior to v2.6.38-rc7.  This
      patch sets a quirk for VersaLogic Menlow boards that forces the use
      of reboot=bios, which doesn't work anymore.
    
    - v3.2: It seems that commit 660e34ce ("x86: Reorder reboot method
      preferences") changed the default reboot method to acpi prior to
      v3.0-rc1, which means the default behavior is appropriate for the
      Ocelot.  No VersaLogic quirk is required.
    
    The Ocelot board used for testing can successfully reboot w/out
    having to pass any reboot= arguments for all 3 current versions
    of the BIOS.
