Last weekend I mentioned our difficulties soldering leads for power
cycling the Nexus 4 to a friend of mine on the Chrome OS team. He said
that there's actually a standard serial port for interfacing to the
firmware via the headphone jack. Sure enough, there is and someone has
already done the work of making a cable for it:

So wiring this up and poking around with 'help' should expose what we need.
