    x86/shutdown: change default reboot method preference
    
    The current logic to chose the preferred reboot method is based on the mode 
Xen
    has been booted into, so if the box is booted from UEFI, the preferred 
reboot
    method will be to use the ResetSystem() run time service call.
    
    However, that method seems to be widely untested, and quite often leads to a
    result similar to:
    
    Hardware Dom0 shutdown: rebooting machine

    Which in most cases does lead to a reboot, however that's unreliable.
    
    Change the default reboot preference to prefer ACPI over UEFI if available 
and
    not in reduced hardware mode.
    
    This is in line to what Linux does, so it's unlikely to cause issues on 
current
    and future hardware, since there's a much higher chance of vendors testing
    hardware with Linux rather than Xen.
    
    Add a special case for one Acer model that does require being rebooted using
    ResetSystem().  See Linux commit 0082517fa4bce for rationale.
