I included REBOOT_SOFT for 2 reasons:
1. drivers/firmware/efi/reboot.c - efi_reboot treats WARM and SOFT reboots same
2. If the vendors specific reboots are added and handled in EFI, I assume it
will be categorised under REBOOT_SOFT.

If that's wrong I can drop REBOOT_SOFT.

Will that not change current behaviour ? IOW, is that expected behaviour ?
I am not sure if halt can be prefer over cold reboot in absence of warm/soft
reboot when the system is request to reboot. From PSCI perspective, since
SYSTEM_RESET is mandatory I prefer that unless Linux has any restriction
on this behaviour.
