Pull misc x86 updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of updates for the x86 reboot code:

   - Limit the Dell Optiplex 990 quirk to early BIOS versions to avoid
     the full 'power cycle' alike reboot which is required for the buggy
     BIOSes.

   - Update documentation for the reboot=pci command line option and
     document how DMI platform quirks can be overridden"
