Whoops! I checked hpcarm and dreamcast and they seemed to be rather
similar so I generalised a bit too far. OTOH there is a lot of cut and
pasted code in these functions :-(

I don't understand the VAX cpu_reboot, it seems that doshutdownhooks
is called iff (howto & RB_HALT) which is not at all like the other
archs (normally it's always called).
