Yeah - I've seen the same thing when rebooting - the cpu_reset message
appears and there is a long delay before a reboot happens. I have no
problems powering off though (shutdown -p). I've got a -current vm
under 6.5.4 with 2 CPUs, host OS is Windows 7, that can take a while
to reboot. I haven't timed it but 90 seconds from the message
appearing is a good estimate. Since the disks should already be synced
by that point, there doesn't seem to be any harm in just resetting the
VM - I've done it a number of times and never had any issues.
However, even on a real computer, there is a bit of a delay here - my
Thinkpad T61 will sit there for around 20 seconds before actually
rebooting. I have no idea how to even start debugging this kind of
thing and it isn't a really big deal to me (I don't reboot too often
and just use the workaround when I do), so I never reported it.
