Rebooting isn't done through acpi. I haven't figured out what's actually
causing this problem yet, but passing

reboot=b

to the kernel will work around it.

Nope. By default, the kernel reboots by writing values to IO ports -
there's no acpi involved in the slightest. Powerdown is a different
story, though.
