We no longer have a new config option :)

Despite the code that I proposed, I have a few concerns:
1) warm or cold reset
Now that we are updating firmware, we may have to initiate
a cold reset in some cases.
(That's why I used 'sysreset(WARM)' to raise a question.)

>From the viewpoint of UEFI specification,
  * A type of reset can be determined per capsule by calling
    QueryCapsuleCapabilities API.
    (The spec said, "Returns if the capsule can be supported via
     UpdateCapsule()" and Capsule-on-disk might be out of scope?)
  * There exists ResetSystem API and it takes a *reset type*
    as a parameter.

2) ResetSystem at boot time
So we may want to internally make use of efi_reset_system() following
capsule-on-disk processing.
The current implementation, however, does not utilize SYSRESET drivers,
but call do_reset(). This should be changed (as I suggested above?).
