** Description changed:
+ == SRU Justification ==
+
+ It's been reported that the Dell Latitude E6220 doesn't reboot unless
+ using reboot=pci. The following patch resolves this issue and has been
+ successfully tested. Upstream is unfortunately not accepting any
+ additional quirk patches like this as they would prefer to migrate to a
+ more systematic approach. Given that the patch is system specific (ie
+ low risk of regression), precedence for similar quirk patches already
+ existing, and having received positive test results, I feel it should be
+ carried as a SAUCE patch until a more systematic approach can be found
+ which upstream will accept.
+
+ == Impact ==
+ Affects Dell Latitude E6220 models.
+
+ == Test Case ==
+ Without the patch, those with a Dell Latitude E6220 must use reboot=pci
+ as a workaround in order for the system to successfully reboot. With
+ the patch applied, the work around is no longer needed.
+
+ == Fix ==
+

[bug for model E6520 is
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/833705]
When one tries to reboot the Dell Latitude E6220 with a 64 bit kernel
from natty it hangs at the very end of the shutdown sequence. The
console output is:
...
...
* Will now restart
[ xxxx.yyyyyy] Restarting system.
Then nothing happens. One has to force power off.
Sep 12th the E6220 will be back, then I can verify the patch given
at http://people.canonical.com/~ogasawara/lp833705/
