Well that's what is done (work) for most ARM920T... Execeptions are

#ifdef CONFIG_S3C2400
bl disable_interrupts
# ifdef CONFIG_TRAB
bl disable_vfd
# endif
...

BTW cominh to think about it: Does "bl disable_vfd" by any chance disable video
controller for CONFIG_TRAB !?!? ;-)

Sure. That means you have board _and_ cpu specific reset code!
Some want to toggle a GPIO pin. Some want to use a cpu watchdog...
So should we move the reset code out of cpu/arm920t/start.S into the brand new
cpu/arm920t/$(SOC)/reset.{S.c} !?
