I think the lastest code kernel executes before CPU reboots
itself is in /sys/i386/vm_machdep.c  function cpu_reset_real().
try to increase DELAY value to see if there is any differences,
or just disable it by define BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET in your
kernel config file and force CPU to go into triple faults and
reboot itself.
