[ale] Restart

[Bao Ha]

Bad idea!  Why do you want to reboot the system just to restart
a device?  Have you looked into unload/reload the device modules?

Except for watchdog, I would not want any programs to restart
the system.

#include <sys/reboot.h>

and then you can do things like:

reboot(RB_HALT_SYSTEM);
reboot(RB_POWER_OFF);
reboot(RB_AUTOBOOT);
...etc
