When the kernel is working well and we want to restart cleanly
kernel_restart is the function to use.   But in many instances
the kernel wants to reboot when thing are expected to be working
very badly such as from panic or a software watchdog handler.

This patch adds the function emergency_restart() so that
callers can be clear what semantics they expect when calling
restart.  emergency_restart() is expected to be callable
from interrupt context and possibly reliable in even more
trying circumstances.

This is an initial generic implementation for all architectures.

It is obvious we wanted to call kernel_restart here
but since we don't have it the code was expanded inline and hasn't
been correct since sometime in 2.4.

Because the factors of sys_reboot don't exist people calling
into the reboot path duplicate the code badly, leading to
inconsistent expectations of code in the reboot path.

This patch should is just code motion.

It is no longer valid to not replace instructions, since we depend on
different behaviour depending on CPU capabilities.

If you need to limit the capabilities of the replacements (because the
boot CPU has features that non-boot CPU's do not have, for example), you
need to explicitly disable those capabilities that are not shared across
all CPU's.

For example, if your boot CPU has FXSR, but other CPU's in your system
do not, you need to use the "nofxsr" kernel command line, not disable
instruction replacement per se.

This one ends up using an inline asm format that claims to read memory
and then clobber it (rather than just write it directly), which made it
easier to use the existing "alternative_input()" infrastructure support.

Now the fxsave code matches the fxrstor.
