It will burn CPU, until power cycle will be done (my AMD64 laptop and Intel's amd64 destop PC require that). In case of reboot timeout (or just reboot with jump to BIOS), i will just choose another image to boot or will press F8 to have another boot device.
That's a fairly stupid argument, since it assumes operator intervention, at which point you have access to the machine anyway.
A stronger argument is, again, that some bootloaders can do unattended fallback.
However, this test should probably be pushed earlier, into setup.S, where executing a BIOS-clean reboot is much easier.
