Various drivers implement architecture and/or device specific means to
restart (reset) the system. Various mechanisms have been implemented to
support those schemes. The best known mechanism is arm_pm_restart, which
is a function pointer to be set either from platform specific code or from
drivers. Another mechanism is to use hardware watchdogs to issue a reset;
this mechanism is used if there is no other method available to reset a
board or system. Two examples are alim7101_wdt, which currently uses the
reboot notifier to trigger a reset, and moxart_wdt, which registers the
arm_pm_restart function.
The existing mechanisms have a number of drawbacks. Typically only one
scheme to restart the system is supported (at least if arm_pm_restart is
used). At least in theory there can be multiple means to restart the
system, some of which may be less desirable (for example one mechanism may
only reset the CPU, while another may reset the entire system). Using
arm_pm_restart can also be racy if the function pointer is set from a
driver, as the driver may be in the process of being unloaded when
arm_pm_restart is called. Using the reboot notifier is always racy, as it
is unknown if and when other functions using the reboot notifier have
completed execution by the time the watchdog fires.
Introduce a system restart handler call chain to solve the described
problems. This call chain is expected to be executed from the
architecture specific machine_restart() function. Drivers providing
system restart functionality (such as the watchdog drivers mentioned
above) are expected to register with this call chain. By using the
priority field in the notifier block, callers can control restart handler
execution sequence and thus ensure that the restart handler with the
optimal restart capabilities for a given system is called first.

Commit 1b3a5d02ee ("reboot: move arch/x86 reboot= handling to generic
kernel") moved reboot= handling to generic code. In the process it also
removed the code in native_machine_shutdown() which are moving reboot
process to reboot_cpu/cpu0.
I guess that thought must have been that all reboot paths are calling
migrate_to_reboot_cpu(), so we don't need this special handling. But
kexec reboot path (kernel_kexec()) is not calling
migrate_to_reboot_cpu() so above change broke kexec. Now reboot can
happen on non-boot cpu and when INIT is sent in second kerneo to bring
up BP, it brings down the machine.
So start calling migrate_to_reboot_cpu() in kexec reboot path to avoid
this problem.

Commit 1b3a5d02ee ("reboot: move arch/x86 reboot= handling to generic
kernel") did some cleanup for reboot= command line, but it made the
reboot_default inoperative.
The default value of variable reboot_default should be 1, and if command
line reboot= is not set, system will use the default reboot mode.

This patch is preparatory. It moves reboot related syscall, etc
functions from kernel/sys.c to kernel/reboot.c.
