  I modified kernel_reload_write() to handle ELF kernels and now I have
  a functional /dev/reload again. I removed the aout stuff since it does
  not make any sense on an ELF system, IMO.
  The new code isn't finished yet, some tweaks are still to be done. I
  would like to get rid of the chipmem requirement. Is this possible?
  Another thought is, to only allow reboot if the machine is in single
  user mode.
