Bad idea. That address may not be mapped at all, or not at the right
physical address. Also, just jumping to a boot loader entry point
does not cause a hardware reset, so any devices that might be stuck
will remain stuck.
You should always try to cause a real reset; there are several
methods in use for this, like using a watchdog reset, causing a
machine check, etc. Just see existing code.
Best regards,
