reboot/shutdown on MP macppcs



Hey folks,

I sometimes see my MP macppc machines not properly shutdown or reboot - I
think (but have no fully verified) this happens when the boot cpu is
shutdown before some other CPU (maybe due to OF implementation details?)

I looked at the code and wondered about the open coded very simple
version of cpu_halt_others(). Is there a reason not to call that?

But even with this change we seem to nowhere care about which cpu
does the last part of cpu_reboot - is this supposed to work on all of
them equally well?

Martin
