Will that trigger Xen to do the right thing to trigger capsule updates
when implemented in Xen? Or do we need a xen_efi_reset_system?
Does that override PSCI?
In machine_restart we try efi_reboot first specifically to allow for
capsule updates. Similarly drivers/firmware/efi/reboot.c registers
efi_power_off late in order to override anything else, though that's
best-effort at present.
Thanks,
Mark.
