The current kernel needs to provide the reboot mode in the boot parameter. However, we can not know this in advance. The kernel should have a method to set the reboot options when the system is booted. This patchset add handles in the <sysfs>/kernel/reboot to read reboot configuration and rewrite it. Therefore users can change the reboot mode as they want.
