My acpi_reset and acpi_shutdown have shown the correct way to do whatevery you
guys want with ACPI on SiS 630. The only thing we need is a better ACPI support
in Linux Kernel no bloating the LinuxBIOS.
Actually I think all these reset/shutdown/power management/clock setting stuff
are covered by ACPI spec.
