[LinuxBIOS] Merge complete....

YH,

Looking at your hard_reset() in 
  src/mainboard/tyan/s2895/auto.c 
  src/nvidia/ck804/ck804_reset.c 
The two hard_reset's are different.  I think one might be wrong.  The
one in auto.c writes a & e to cf9, that's a hard reset. The one in
ck804_reset.c writes 2 and 6 to cf9, that's a soft reset. Also I'm not
sure how you enable the cf9 port.  I think you should write LPC:e8 in
hard_reset() to be sure it's enabled.  

Also I noticed in the commercial BIOS's hard_reset they include a loop
forever or JMP * or L1: go to L1 after the cf9 writes.

ck804 is using cf9 to do reset, ......may be i lost the control of that
port.
