Oh - reset on SMP.  Good point.  We'd need to find a reset mechanism
that worked even on SMP.

BTW, I tried the cf9, kbd controller, and triple fault reset on qemu.
Unfortunately, cf9 doesn't do anything, and the other two only soft
reset the cpu.  A soft reset just causes POST to get called again in
an infinite loop.

Anyone know of a way to reliably hard reset qemu?

Boot loaders and OSes assume they can use the memory immiediately
above 1Meg - the BIOS isn't allowed to reserve it.
