== Natty SRU Justification ==
It's been reported that the Dell Latitude E6220 and E6520 don't reboot
unless using reboot=pci. The following patches resolve this issue on
each system and has been successfully tested on both. Upstream is
unfortunately not accepting any additional quirk patches like this as
they would prefer to migrate to a more systematic approach. Given that
the patches are system specific (ie low risk of regression), precedence
for similar quirk patches already existing, and having received positive
test results, I feel these should be carried as a SAUCE patch until a
more systematic approach can be found which upstream will accept.
== Impact ==
Affects Dell Latitude E6220 and E6250 models.
== Test Case ==
Without these patches, those with a Dell Latitude E6220 or E6520 must
use reboot=pci as a workaround in order for the system to successfully
reboot. With the patches applied, the work around is no longer needed.
