Just let you know, Windows8.1 calls EFI on these boxes for reboot/shutdown.

I'll be surprise if other windows version ignores RESET_REG_SUP to use
ACPI reset registers.

=========ACPI spec ==============================
RESET_REG_SUP: If set, indicates the system supports system reset via
the FADT RESET_REG as described in Section 4.8.3.6
=================================================

Thanks for checking that, please keep me posted. I'll re-submit the
patch after you have an update.
