bios Use the CPU reboot vector for warm reset
warm Don't set the cold reboot flag
cold Set the cold reboot flag
triple Force a triple fault (init)
kbd Use the keyboard controller. cold reset (default)
+ acpi Use the ACPI RESET_REG in the FADT. If ACPI is not configured or the
+ ACPI reset does not work, the reboot path attempts the reset using
+ the keyboard controller.
+ efi Use efi reset_system runtime service. If EFI is not configured or the
+ EFI reset does not work, the reboot path attempts the reset using
+ the keyboard controller.
Using warm reset will be much faster especially on big memory
systems because the BIOS will not go through the memory check.
