Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] rust: reboot: add emergency_restart() wrapper
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 19:15:28 +0300

Add a minimal reboot module wrapping emergency_restart(), which
restarts the machine immediately without syncing or unmounting
filesystems.

This is needed by watchdog drivers that must restart the system when
the watchdog expires, such as the Rust software watchdog added in a
subsequent patch. emergency_restart() is safe to call from any
context, including the interrupt context of an expiring timer.
