Hi fellow FreeBSD developers,

I'm wondering if it is possible to reboot a computer without actually
resetting the hardware.  Assuming I want to reboot with the same
kernel (rebooting with different kernels obviously present more
challenges), can't I just re-load the initialized data and jump to the
address where the kernel starts executing?
