This adds a new node for reboot modes on LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3. The EV3's
bootloader looks for a magic number in the ARM local RAM and if found,
it will boot into a special firmware update mode where the flash memory
can be written via USB.

This has been testing working using the command:

    # systemctl reboot loader

Doh. I forgot to rebase, so this won't apply cleanly. V2 coming right up.
