Here is the first installment.  It will allow commands that use
the reboot system call (like 'reboot') to properly jump into the
system reset vector.  If you want to write some custom programs
to execute code somewhere else, you can call reboot with a
starting address parameter.  I use this to use Linux to load a
new Linux kernel.
