When I call `sudo reboot`, it doesn't post the motherboard or anything, just brings the system down and then the kernel restarts. It's entirely possible that it's my fault though. I've played with kexec a little bit, and it seems very similar to this. The physical hardware doesn't "reboot", just the system. I don't even get a grub menu... Now I haven't exhaustively tested this to see what's going on, so all I have is random anecdotal things. hmmm... now I'm inspired to try it again and see what happens... but I hate to lose tha precious precious uptime ...
