This patch allows Linux to poweroff the mainboard correctly.
This works great here. The system power button doesn't shut the system down though (holding it cuts power of course)
A shutdown -r also works, however, it should be noted that this will not be the same a a physical reset as I don't think the chipset supports it, at least I can't find any references to a reset register.
There are some differences from my original BIOS. It reports only 2 CPU throttling states, however mine reports 16 as I believe this is correct. I have not been able to test this. Not even sure how to go about it.
Mine also reports 16 throttling states, and setting them works fine (echo # > /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling, where # is the desired throttling state). I compared speeds using the distributed.net client benchmark, and speed matched what was expected for each throttling state. (If you've ever wanted to make your system run like a Pentium 75, now's your chance! ... and I remember when those were damn fast)
