[PATCH] Reboot Dreamcast under software control

In the light of more up to date technical information I have discovered there is a register at physical address 0x005F6890 on the Dreamcast that if written a magic number (0x7611) will force a reboot under software control. Presumably a better option than the current catch-all mechanism.
