Here's a slightly better version that handles multi-core/thread.
It uses the mambo callthru to run a tcl command to send the CPUs to
0x100.
mambo confuses skiboot a bit when the topology doesn't match real
hardware (eg. when mambo configures a power8 with less than 8
threads). So we need to fix that up at some point.
mambo also seems to have some issues with not running any instructions
on the threads when they are sent to 0x100 for many seconds. This
means the reboot takes much longer than it needs to with many threads.
We may need to reset the thread priorities to fix this.
