Copy your fixes to a directory, then make this your current directory and issue an "inutoc .". A file called ".toc" will be created. For every package there is a multiline entry created, in the first line of this entry there is a single "b" or "B" if a bosboot is required.
You might want to search comp.unix.aix for "installp reboot" for this issue explained and check the AIX 5.2 (5.1) documentation for "installp" (rather lengthy) for the details of this.
You can try this by copying only one fix which you know to (not) require a reboot to a firectory and compare the various .toc-files generated by "inutoc".
Hope this helps.

LEARN ABOUT ULTRIX
reboot
reboot(8) System Manager's Manual reboot(8)
Name
reboot - automatic reboot procedures
Syntax
/etc/reboot [ -n ] [ -q ]
Description
The ULTRIX system is booted by loading a kernel image, usually into memory at location zero and transferring to zero. Because the system
is not reenterable, the kernel image must be read in from disk each time the system is bootstrapped.
When the reboot of a running system is desired, is normally used. If there are no users, can be used. The command causes the disks to be
synced, and then a multiuser reboot is initiated. The system is booted and an automatic disk check is performed. If the procedure suc-
ceeds, the system is then brought up for the users.
The system will reboot itself after a power failure or after a crash, provided auto-restart is enabled on your system. A consistency check
of the file systems will be performed and, unless the check fails, the system will resume multiuser operations.
Options
-n Prevents the disks from being synced.
-q Reboots quickly and ungracefully, without shutting down running processes first.
