x86/reboot: Remove VersaLogic Menlow reboot quirk
commit e6d36a653becc7bbc643c399a77882e02bf552cb upstream. This commit removes the reboot quirk originally added by commit e19e074 ("x86: Fix reboot problem on VersaLogic Menlow boards"). Testing with a VersaLogic Ocelot (VL-EPMs-21a rev 1.00 w/ BIOS 6.5.102) revealed the following regarding the reboot hang problem: - v2.6.37 reboot=bios was needed. - v2.6.38-rc1: behavior changed, reboot=acpi is needed, reboot=kbd and reboot=bios results in system hang. - v2.6.38: VersaLogic patch (e19e074 "x86: Fix reboot problem on VersaLogic Menlow boards") was applied prior to v2.6.38-rc7. This patch sets a quirk for VersaLogic Menlow boards that forces the use of reboot=bios, which doesn't work anymore. - v3.2: It seems that commit 660e34c ("x86: Reorder reboot method preferences") changed the default reboot method to acpi prior to v3.0-rc1, which means the default behavior is appropriate for the Ocelot. No VersaLogic quirk is required. The Ocelot board used for testing can successfully reboot w/out having to pass any reboot= arguments for all 3 current versions of the BIOS.
