Subject[PATCH 1/2] reboot: add a "power cycle" quirk to prepare for a power off on reboot
Date
I need to use "reboot=p" on my desktop because one of the PCIe devices
does not appear after a warm boot. This results in a very cold boot
because the BIOS turns the PSU off and on.

The scsi sd shutdown process does not send a stop command to disks
before the reboot happens (stop commands are only sent for a shutdown).

The result is that all of my SSDs experience a sudden power loss on
every reboot, which is undesirable behaviour because it could cause data
to be corrupted. These events are recorded in the SMART attributes.

Add a "power cycle" quirk to the reboot options to prepare all devices for
a power off by setting the system_state to SYSTEM_POWER_OFF instead of
SYSTEM_RESTART while still performing a restart as requested.

This uses the letter "C" for the parameter because of numerous uses of
"reboot=pci" that would otherwise trigger this behaviour if "c" was used.
