We knows XP and Vista do it.

But upstream doesn't currently check the FADT.flags.reset-reg-supported bit
due to a recent bad guess on my part on how to be bug compatible with windows.

The (revert) patch to add that check is in my tree, along with
the trivial patch to flip the default to acpi-reset.

Technically, that is the only "unanced" thing we should need
to check.  However, it will not fix Avi's box, where it appears
that flag is present, the reset works, but for some reason the
keyboard fails after reset.  More likely that is a device driver
issue specific to Linux interacting with "unexpected" BIOS behavior.

hm, will that also fix Andrey's box?

This describes Andrey's box, not mine. Mine (and others) have working acpi reset and non-working keyboard reset; so reset was done using triple-fault which fails when virtualization is enabled.
