The mpc8xx restart consists in clearing the ME bit in MSR register to
cause checkstop on machine check and then accessing an invalid location.
I don't know if this causes a SRESET or HRESET and if the GPIO will be
preserved or not. I know that PDDAT, PDDIR and the like are preserved
with SRESET.
Bye.
