[arm-allstar] reboot and start button

Steve,
I think it just does a processor reset which would not be a good idea to do unless it was really hung. It would be nice to have both where one halted it orderly and the other started it back up but I would be afraid that having the button there would result in inadvertent restarts.
Most people leave these run but I know you are using one mobile. I would probably either install the halt button or use the DTMF halt from the radio before power down. Then at power up it would just boot up.

If the system is hung up, an orderly reboot or a halt will get you through. I am not sure that the reboot button is orderly, though. Do you know?

I decided that a halt was more needed so that is why I added a halt button which works much like holding the power switch in on a PC only it does an orderly Linux shutdown.
