Support for Fast Reboot

This feature is new in the OpenSolaris 2008.11 OS.

Fast Reboot is a command-line feature that enables you to reboot an x86 based system, bypassing the firmware and boot loader processes. Fast Reboot implements an in-kernel boot loader that loads the kernel into memory and then switches to that kernel so that the reboot process occurs within seconds. This feature is implemented on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels.
