Len, please consider my Lenovo T60 laptop "possibly affected" too. I was seeing weird sporadic reboot hangs which went away roughly since around that revert.
Given that Windows uses ACPI reboot, I find it unlikely that it is so unreliable. Maybe some other problem in the tree got fixed?
So the negative scope of the change, even after such short amount of testing, is non-trivial, and we simply have to go via a flag day date approach. Or, if these bugs are debuggable, make the ACPI reboot sequence more reliable.
I think the sequence should be acpi -> kbd -> triple fault. Given that Windows uses ACPI, the number of machines that support it is much larger (and growing daily) than the number of machines that do not.
