+ * Registered functions will be called from machine_restart as last
+ * step of the restart sequence (if the architecture specific
+ * machine_restart function calls do_kernel_restart - see below
+ * for details).
+ * Registered functions are expected to restart the system immediately.
+ * If more than one function is registered, the restart handler priority
+ * selects which function will be called first.
+ *
+ * Restart handlers are expected to be registered from non-architecture
+ * code, typically from drivers. A typical use case would be a system
+ * where restart functionality is provided through a watchdog. Multiple
+ * restart handlers may exist; for example, one restart handler might
+ * restart the entire system, while another only restarts the CPU.
+ * In such cases, the restart handler which only restarts part of the
+ * hardware is expected to register with low priority to ensure that
+ * it only runs if no other means to restart the system is available.
+ *
+ * Currently always returns zero, as atomic_notifier_chain_register()
