1. What's the logic behind this? Why not enable a bios reboot for 64bitThe bios reboot code requires you to reprogram the CPU to real mode. I
kernels? Is there any reason why the machine_real_restart code wouldn't
work just as well in 64bit mode? Anybody know the history?
don't think there's any fundamental reason you can't do that from 64-bit
mode, but nobody's ever written that code.

switching to real mode.
return to 32-bit mode first.
