[PATCH] Default to ACPI reboots on newish X86 hardware

[Christian Hofstaedtler <ch@xxxxxxx>]

Newer hardware is assumed to no longer reboot succesfully using the
keyboard controller, but needs to use ACPI instead.
To not cause problems with older hardware, only hardware with a BIOS
date 2006 or newer is considered for this choice. Broken BIOSes
reporting a BIOS date of 0 are not specially considered, and therefore
get the KBD reboot behaviour.

Also unifiy reboot_type selection code.
