If the CPU state is stable enough to call __arch_emergency_restart(),
a jump to the reset address should be fine. In many implementations
the reset code is in on-chip ROM. If things get screwed up enough
to affect the code in on-chip ROM, it probably won't matter what
gets called. ;-)

Thomas, any thoughts?
