As you mentioned, this could hang 'reboot', which is _completely_
unacceptable.  One of the other two solutions would be far superior.
Probably a timeout on the umount.  There must also be a way to skip
this step entirely, since sometimes machines have to be rebooted by
getting lucky with the timing of the reboot command while in a state
of resource starvation (possibly through a runaway process, etc).
