OK, found it.

The reason for the sluggishness is that the GPIO blocks are timing
out in the omap_test_timout() calls added in this patch, suggesting that
they never detect reset done.

Looking at the other user of _wait_softreset_complete made me remember
that there modules that need their optional clocks enabled in order for
softreset to work.  It appears that the optional clocks are needed not
only to initiate a softrest, but also to check SYSS.RESETDONE.

The patch below on top of Paul's version makes the sluggishness disappear.
