OK, I think this is different from fixing the call in soft_restart(), so
I'll make a separate patch for this.
I can see a few ways to do it but am not sure of the ramifications
of each. Should we put cpu_reset into the idmap at startup when we add
__turn_mmu_on, or add cpu_reset on demand from say setup_mm_for_reboot()?
If the former, is all we need something like this?

I'll send out an updated fix.
