The patch titled
     Subject: kernel/reboot.c: re-enable the function of variable reboot_default

     kernel-rebootc-re-enable-the-function-of-variable-reboot_default.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Chuansheng Liu <chuansheng.liu@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kernel/reboot.c: re-enable the function of variable reboot_default

1b3a5d02ee07 ("reboot: move arch/x86 reboot= handling to generic kernel")
did some cleanup for reboot= command line, but it made the reboot_default
inoperative.

The default value of variable reboot_default should be 1, and if command
line reboot= is not set, system will use the default reboot mode.
