The kernel runs as a firmware in the VTL mode, and the only way
to restart on x86 is to triple fault. Thus, one has to always
supply "reboot=t" on the kernel command line, and missing that
renders rebooting not working.
Define the machine restart callback to always use the triple
fault to provide the robust configuration by default.
