Hello Steve,

Thanks for your answer!

Hi Heiko,

It's certainly possible, and it's also easily done from user-space.
  Something like this is more policy than function.  It's also a potential
security issue.  As such I'd expect it highly unlikely that the kernel
maintainers would allow it to go upstream. Give it a try though.
Ok, thats what I also think ...
I'd approach this from user-space.  Add in the gpio-keys driver and use the
input-event-daemon to trigger a reboot.  Super easy.
Yes, that was also my suggestion, but is there a way to do this without
user space usage in a generic way?

bye,
Heiko
