dracut emergency shell

Description of problem:
I am using a kernel image with the "reencrypt" option to reencrypt a harddrive during first setup. The kernel does the reencrypt, and than drops into the dracut emergency shell. The only way to reboot from this shell is to press the Power button for 8 seconds to power down the notebook

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dracut-033-360.el7_2.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:
Every time you enter the dracut Emergency shell

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter the dracut emergency shell
2. try to reboot in different ways than powering off the notebook:
2.a type: reboot
2.b type: logout
2.c press "Ctrl-d"

Actual results:
Screen turns into plymouth screen and stays there without doing anything

Expected results:
Computer should reboot

Additional info:
It would be also great to have a grub kernel option for a auto reboot. Like in my current case.. i am using "grub2-reboot 1" to start the reencrypt kernel only once.. than i need a reboot to start the original kernel. If I could tell the reencrypt kernel to reboot automatically when entering the Emergency shell, it would make the process even easier.
