[PATCH] x86: Try the BIOS reboot method before the PCI reboot method
Steve reported a reboot hang and bisected it back to this commit:
a4f1987e4c54 x86, reboot: Add EFI and CF9 reboot methods into the default list
He heroically tested all reboot methods and found the following:
reboot=t # triple fault ok
reboot=k # keyboard ctrl FAIL
reboot=b # BIOS ok
reboot=a # ACPI FAIL
reboot=e # EFI FAIL [system has no EFI]
reboot=p # PCI 0xcf9 FAIL
And I think it's pretty obvious that we should only try 0xcf9 as a
last resort - if at all.
The other observation is that (on this box) we should try the 'BIOS'
method before the PCI method.
Thirdly, CF9_COND is a total misnomer - it should be something like
CF9_SAFE or CF9_CAREFUL, and 'CF9' should be 'CF9_FORCE' ...
So this patch fixes the worst problems:
- it orders the actual reboot logic to follow the reboot ordering
pattern - it was in a pretty random order before for no good
reason.
- it fixes the CF9 misnomers and uses BOOT_CF9_FORCE and
BOOT_CF9_SAFE flags to make the code more obvious.
- it tries the BIOS reboot method before the PCI reboot method.
