-	 * Is the ACPI reset register supported?

-	 * According to ACPI 3.0, FADT.flags.RESET_REG_SUP indicates
-	 * whether the ACPI reset mechanism is supported.
-	 *
-	 * However, some boxes have this bit clear, yet a valid
-	 * ACPI_RESET_REG & RESET_VALUE, and ACPI reboot is the only
-	 * mechanism that works for them after S3.
-	 *
-	 * This suggests that other operating systems may not be checking
-	 * the RESET_REG_SUP bit, and are using other means to decide
-	 * whether to use the ACPI reboot mechanism or not.
-	 *
-	 * So when acpi reboot is requested,
-	 * only the reset_register is checked. If the following
-	 * conditions are met, it indicates that the reset register is supported.
-	 * 	a. reset_register is not zero
-	 * 	b. the access width is eight
-	 * 	c. the bit_offset is zero
