Can you try with this patch? From what I can see of Apple ACPI tables, 
it should be functionally equivalent but less hate inducing.

    x86: Default to using ACPI for reboot
    
    Running a hacked qemu with a modified seabios image that declares support
    for reboot via ACPI shows that Windows will use the ACPI reboot vector
    before falling back to hitting i8042. Change the default reboot method to
    match this. This looks like it should improve life for Apples, which
    declare the cf9 reboot method via ACPI, don't have a competent i8042
    emulation and currently have a large DMI whitelist.
