Add a way to manually invoke a fast-reboot rather than setting the NVRAM
flag. The idea is to allow userspace to invoke a fast-reboot using the
optional string argument to the reboot() system call, or using the xmon
zr command so we don't need to leave around a persistent changes on
a system to use the feature.
