Resetting the EC after reflashing LinuxBIOS

Quanta engineers walked me through the reset and write protect logic and
convinced me that it works correctly.
EC command 0x05 (sent via the port 68/6c pair) will cause the EC to
reset itself and the rest of the system, in the process releasing the
write protect latch.
A note about reading the Quanta schematics: They use "*" instead of e.g.
"NOPOP" for components that are not normally loaded . One such
component had me mightily confused about how the write protect latch
works, until their notation was pointed out to me.
