powerpc/powernv: Make possible for user to force a full ipl cec reboot
Ever since fast reboot is enabled by default in opal, opal_cec_reboot() will use fast-reset instead of full IPL to perform system reboot. This leaves the user with no direct way to force a full IPL reboot except changing an nvram setting that persistently disables fast-reset for all subsequent reboots. This patch provides a more direct way for the user to force a one-shot full IPL reboot by passing the command line argument 'full' to the reboot command. So the user will be able to tweak the reboot behavior via: $ sudo reboot full # Force a full ipl reboot skipping fast-reset or $ sudo reboot # default reboot path (usually fast-reset) The reboot command passes the un-parsed command argument to the kernel via the 'Reboot' syscall which is then passed on to the arch function pnv_restart(). The patch updates pnv_restart() to handle this cmd-arg and issues opal_cec_reboot2 with OPAL_REBOOT_FULL_IPL to force a full IPL reset.
