The first patch defines a specialized machine emergency restart callback not to write to the physical address of 0x472 which is what the native_machine_emergency_restart() does unconditionally. I first wanted to tweak that function[1], and in the course of the discussion it looked as the risks of doing that would outweigh the benefit: the bare-metal systems have likely adopted that behavior as a standard although I could not find any mentions of that magic address in the UEFI+ACPI specification. The second patch removes the need to always supply "reboot=t" to the kernel command line in the OpenHCL bootloader[2]. There is no other option at the moment; when/if it appears the newly added callback's code can be adjusted as required.
