Nope, the system is no longer running at this stage, it attempted to
reset the CPU (either way, i think it first tries the keyboard
controller reset, and then a CPU shutdown [wiping the page table
directory, and flush the TLB]).  If the system is stuck at this
point, only a hardware reset will help.
