The proposed functionality is a last effort at rebooting the system when the UI is hung. In such case the rest of the system could still be alive and as such should be given a chance to reboot more gracefully than when using emergency_reset(). Hope this helps clarifying my position. I would be more than happy to re-work the commit message if need be. Please consider getting back to me.
