I think it would make more sense to just #ifdef off a section of a
single table, instead of having an #ifdef for a separate table and an
#ifdef for a table entry.

I don't know how big these tables are -- this is initdata after all, so
unless the tables are really small, we could just make set_bios_reboot a
noop on x86-64.
