    reboot: Allow specifying warm/cold reset for CF9 boot type · 16c21ae5
    Li Fei authored
    In current implementation for reboot type CF9 and CF9_COND,
    warm and cold reset are not differentiated, and both are
    performed by writing 0x06 to port 0xCF9.
    
    This commit will differentiate warm and cold reset:
    
    For warm reset, write 0x06 to port 0xCF9;
    For cold reset, write 0x0E to port 0xCF9.
    
    [ hpa: This meaning of "cold" and "warm" reset is different from other
      reboot types use, where "warm" means "bypass BIOS POST".  It is also
      not entirely clear that it actually solves any actual problem.  However,
      it would seem fairly harmless to offer this additional option.
    
      Also note that we do not mask bit 3 in the "warm reset" case.  This
      preserves the behavior on existing systems, including ones quirked
      to use CF9.  It seems reasonable that on any system where the
      warm/cold distinction actually matters that bit 3 would be read as
      zero. ]
