Avi, i expect more boxes to be affected by this bug, and the DMI 
solution just does not scale.

So could we please disable VMX from the emergency-shutdown code 
instead of twiddling with the reboot method?

Something like this might work as well: iff VMX is enabled, we just do 
smp_send_stop() (instead of skipping it) which should take care of 
this.
