Under normal mode, using jmp __cpu_reset, the stage is rather faster.

Spare 4s for rebooting
I add some comments in s2885/auto.c.
In auto.c call soft2_reset directly instead of jmp to __cpu_reset
Hmm. That does seem to have some merit. Where are you seeing the code run slowly? In particular I am wondering if this is an mtrr setup problem or something else you are avoiding.
