And how is user supposed to find out which I=mmmm-nnnn, X=mmmm-nnnn, etc. settings should use on his machine?
This reboot port/value can be fortunately unambiguously got from BIOS. (using my utility or some other utility)

The documentation could be simple
ALTBOOT - for reboot uses legacy keyboard port (instead of reboot address)
ALTBOOT:xx,yy - use alternate port(xx) and reboot value(yy)
