I in fact tested this on Saturday and it in fact rebooted.  With GENERIC,
even. The digi driver sort of got left behind with the tty changes and
handed out uninitialized mutexes that trip null pointer panics.  Machine
came back up fine, so unless you have some type of panic that screws up
the system enough to disrupt booting then it should work.
