the original purpose of the setup menu was to set up some configuration
options, that's why I'm thinkong "Restart" doesn't really belong into the
Setup Menu. (But this is only my point of view)

You're right, this isn't worth of an own main menu item. This could be put
just somewhere (wherever you think it belongs) But sometimes it's nice to
have access to such things (especially when you don't have console access
at the moment)
