Where is your boot code located?  In BRAM?  or SDRAM?  If it is in
RAM, then it is likely that your boot code gets overwritten when the
Linux kernel boots and so soft resetting the processor will result in
a hung system (because it doesn't have any boot code to run).

What boot options are you referring to?  SystemACE boot configuration?
 The current system ace driver doesn't have any support for either
setting the boot options or using the systemace to reboot the system
by reconfiguring the FPGA.  It shouldn't be hard to do, it just hasn't
been written.
