There are two different issues here, one is a hang on reeboot, and the
other is why boot-game-os doesn't boot the game os.

'reboot', 'poweroff', and the power button should all be working correctly
now.  If they don't then that is an unknown bug.

I think the problem with boot-game-os is that I have sys_reboot() do an
LPAR reboot (PS3_SM_NEXT_OP_LPAR_REBOOT), not a system reboot, this might
explain why linux is rebooted even though the boot flag was set.  If this
is the reason, then one would need to do a 'poweroff' to get it to boot
into the game OS.  I'll look at it more when I have some time.
