[PATCH] reboot: comment and factor the main reboot functions

In the lead up to 2.6.13 I fixed a large number of reboot problems by
making the calling conventions consistent.  Despite checking and double
checking my work it appears I missed an obvious one.

This first patch simply refactors the reboot routines so all of the
preparation for various kinds of reboots are in their own functions.
Making it very hard to get the various kinds of reboot out of sync.
