x86: Reorder reboot method preferences

Browse Source 
We have a never ending stream of 'reboot quirks' for new boxes
that will not reboot properly under Linux (they will hang on
reboot).

The reason is widespread 'Windows compatible' assumption of modern
x86 hardware, which expects the following reboot sequence:

 - hitting the ACPI reboot vector (if available)
 - trying the keyboard controller
 - hitting the ACPI reboot vector again
 - then giving the keyboard controller one last go

This sequence expectation gets more and more embedded in modern
hardware, which often lacks a keyboard controller and may even
lock up if the legacy io ports are hit - and which hardware is
often not tested with Linux during development.

The end result is that reboot works under Windows-alike OSs but not
under Linux.

Rework our reboot process to meet this hardware externality a little
better and match this assumption of newer x86 hardware.

In addition to the ACPI,kbd,ACPI,kbd sequence we'll still fall
through to attempting a legacy triple fault if nothing else
works - and keep trying that and the kbd reset.
