I mean a hardware button that calls SRESET , ie, Soft reset machine check.

That's what we are doing. The 85xx docs say "Soft reset. Causes a
machine check interrupt to the e500 core. Note that if the e500 core
is not configured to process machine check interrupts, the assertion
of SRESET causes a core checkstop. SRESET need not be asserted during
a hard reset."

Is the 85xx kernel "not configured to process machine check
interrupts" ? Do I need to do that myself in my boards restart
function via the special registers? Is there code already for this?
