[SeaBIOS] [PATCH] resume: Don't attempt to use generic reboot mechanisms on QEMU

On QEMU it's necessary to manually reset the BIOS memory region
between 0xc0000-0x100000 on a reboot.  After this manual memory reset
is completed, it's not valid to use the generic reset mechanisms.
Rename qemu_prep_reset() to qemu_reboot() and change the function to
immediately reboot after the code memcpy.

This fixes a bug that could cause code corruption on reboots - calling
the udelay() function (as invoked by i8042_reboot and/or pci_reboot)
was not valid after the BIOS was memcpy'd.

This patch is based on Paolo's recommendation of first attempting a
PCI style reboot on QEMU.  However, instead of next attempting a
keyboard reset, this patch attempts to signal an "INIT" via a triple
fault (as I think that's a bit simpler and less likely to fail).
