Looking at your trac entry, I see:

"The change is in arch/i386/kernel/reboot_fixups.c :
cs5536_warm_reset(), more or less like this:
+ #ifdef CONFIG_OLPC
+    outb(0xdb, 0x66);
+    udelay (1000000);
+ #endif
   wrmsrl(0x51400017, 1ULL);
   udelay(50);
"

I am unsure if you mean the olpc repo or if you mean you haven't been
able to get the patch into Linus's mainline tree. If you mean
mainline, I didn't see the patch and can't find your posting in
linux-kernel at vger archives. If you can repost your patch after diffing
it against mainline (the file may be renamed to
arch/x86/kernel/reboot_fixups_32.c after the x86-64 merge) and please
CC me, I would be happy to ack it and Andres's previous one as well.

Thanks,
