You, ah, haven’t worked with many ARM designs now, have you? 8) They are 
characterised by the most remarkable cleverness cheek to jowl with a healthy 
dose of WTF. 

Although, to be fair, the architecture does say that SYSRESETREQ should reset 
the chip - it just stops short of requiring the implementer to actually do it.

(And anything marked “UNPREDICTABLE” in the architecture can safely be assumed 
not to do anything useful or sensible in an actual implementation, because SoC 
vendors are like that...)
