I don't have a strong opinion on it.  If you leave it as it is so that 
arch_reset() will return then the generic ARM code will issue a printk 
to tell the user that it failed then drop into an infinite loop so it 
should be obvious that reset isn't implemented!

If reset is nontrivial then you're probably right to leave it out of 
this patch and put it into another later on.
