I think it's just proper defensive programming to always do a CP reset in that case, and as soon as possible.

Then probably the boot loader should do it before starting the Linux kernel.

This would be a mostly hidden requirement for any boot loader towards the ppc linux kernel.

... or this is already the case (which is why I ping'ed Dan who would probably recall such a thing :)). If so, it would probably be a good idea to make a note in head_8xx.S about that assumption.
