Reset button handler

[Alexey Petrenko]

We are using standard mini-ITX Atom powered motherboard with standard
mini-ITX case.

And looks like this means: no, software reset button handler is not
possible. I was afraid of it after my googling :)
That's pity. Will think how to implement needed feature in other way.

Thanks.
