[GIT PULL] x86/reboot change for v2.6.40

[Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>]

Linus,

Please pull the latest x86-reboot-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git x86-reboot-for-linus

This change modifies the x86 reboot method order to be ACPI first.

This affects a lot of systems - the hope is that it will reduce the steady 
influx of reboot quirks (and the large body of boxes that will not reboot 
properly under Linux).

 Thanks,

	Ingo
