So you mean something like this?

I'm not sure if it will make much of a difference, as (IIUC)
arm_load_kernel installs a reset hook to jump directly into the kernel,
bypassing the bootrom entirely. I'm assuming a watchdog or SW reset would
trigger the same reset hook and jump right back into the kernel, though I
could be wrong.
Anyway, I can make the above change in any case.
