[Skiboot] Fast reboot functionality

Hi all,

I noticed that we have lost the the support of 'fast reboot' mode in
our VESNIN P8 servers.
Every reboot call from the host OS or petitboot console causes a full
boot cycle started from Hostboot.

OPAL says "Fast reboot timed out waiting for secondaries to call in".

What's the reason for this behavior? How can I fix it?

Stripped log from OPAL:
