Comment(by jdreed):
 Right, so, uh, we don't want acpi=off, because then the machine can't
 power itself down.  I have iterated through all the values documented in
 reboot.c for `reboot=`:

 * bios (x86_32 only)
 * smp (x86_32 only)
 * kbd (fails)
 * acpi (fails)
 * force (fails)
 * efi (fails)
 * pci (works!) (WTF?)

 So, short of [http://mjg59.livejournal.com/137313.html waiting for 3.0],
 we should replace acpi=off with reboot=pci
