* Is the ACPI reset register supported?
*
* According to ACPI 3.0, FADT.flags.RESET_REG_SUP indicates
* whether the ACPI reset mechanism is supported.
*
* However, some boxes have this bit clear, yet a valid
* ACPI_RESET_REG & RESET_VALUE, and ACPI reboot is the only
* mechanism that works for them after S3.
*
* This suggests that other operating systems may not be checking
* the RESET_REG_SUP bit, and are using other means to decide
* whether to use the ACPI reboot mechanism or not.
*
* So when acpi reboot is requested,
* only the reset_register is checked. If the following
* conditions are met, it indicates that the reset register is supported.
* a. reset_register is not zero
* b. the access width is eight
* c. the bit_offset is zero
