The current logic to chose the preferred reboot method is based on the mode Xen
has been booted into, so if the box is booted from UEFI, the preferred reboot
method will be to use the ResetSystem() run time service call.
However, that method seems to be widely untested, and quite often leads to a
result similar to:

Which in most cases does lead to a reboot, however that's unreliable.
Change the default reboot preference to prefer ACPI over UEFI if available and
not in reduced hardware mode.
This is in line to what Linux does, so it's unlikely to cause issues on current
and future hardware, since there's a much higher chance of vendors testing
hardware with Linux rather than Xen.
Add a special case for one Acer model that does require being rebooted using
ResetSystem(). See Linux commit
0082517fa4bce for rationale.
