Hello Thiemo, my reboot patch for MIPS (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-09/msg00082.html) is only partially included in Daniel's patch.
As far as I know, a MIPS triggers the reboot exception at power-on. (at least for MIPS 4KEc), so my patch uses the same code for reboot exception and power-on. Why do we need a special QEMU reset device in the Linux kernel? QEMU might emulate existing real reset devices as well...
