While this is a hardware (UEFI firmware, well basically the BIOS) issue,
the only way to (eventually) work around this problem is from the kernel
side. Accordingly a kernel specific mailing list, probably upstream 
(lkml) or Debian specific (BTS, debian-kernel) are probably better 
venues.

Please don't use "acpi=off", it not only disables SMP but may also cause
damage to your mainboard.

You can try to use "reboot=pci" as kernel parameter, I'm having similar
(but intermittent) problems on an ASRock Q1900DC-ITX where this seems
to help (but it's a bit too early to be sure about it, so a bit too 
early to submit the according kernel quirk).
