I've been tracing how Windows implements reboots (XP, Vista and 7). It 
appears to use the ACPI reboot vector, the keyboard controller, the ACPI 
reboot vector again, the keyboard controller again and then hangs. I'll 
try implementing equivalent behaviour in Linux and see whether it makes 
any difference.
