Unfortunately, it appears that the culprit is the nvidia binary blob,
switching to nouveau made the system reboot without a hitch. I did a bit
of housekeeping on the bug and marked the nvidia binary driver as
affected.

Sorry for the line noise.

Title:
  [Dell L702X] nvidia-331.38-0ubuntu7.1 prevents system from rebooting

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  All reset methods on a fully updated L702X with BIOS A19 (latest available release) fail except for the PCI reset through CF9.
  This is a regression from the 12.04 LTS kernel, and other OSes (namely, Windows 7) can reboot without problems.

  The problem with writing to CF9 is that one of the disks (or both)
  perform an emergency head parking before the system resets itself, so
  while the system reboots it's less than optimal.

  I'm attaching both the disassembled DSDT and the fwts result log
  (which itself is inconsistent, since the CPU is running the latest
  microcode).
