The code should be setting the 1<<4 bit (so as to clear one of the

After making this change, your board won't hang when the BIOS or Linux detects a need to reboot due to some fatal error.
This is a pretty trivial change to an error case that hardly ever
occurs
but was crucial for us. I claim this change is safe and correct and should be merged into the main line code.
Yes, please merge that change!
Our box now keeps rebooting itself instead of crashing - have a look at the attached boot log. Maybe this will be more of a clue as to what exactly is happening? Anyone got anymore ideas?
Thanks, Alan!! Ward.
