Actually, yes it is, you just need to install the user space tools.[1]

The facility is called "kexec" (named after the system call to 'EXECute 
a new Kernel', I suspect). Install the "kexec-tools" package and, if I'm 
reading that page correctly, the "reboot" command will be replaced by a 
kexec call (see the linked page, though, for precautions about your 
first reboot).
