The i386 port has its own reset_cpu() dispatch for its various supported CPU families, so the existing do_reset() function is simply altered to use the new prototype for __arch_restart().
In addition, the debug message and delay are duplicated from the generic code, so they are removed.
This reset code will probably work even when the CPU is in a bad state, so no separate __arch_emergency_restart() function is required.
This part does not make much sense - If the CPU is in 'a bad state' then it will probably be lights out anyway. As I understand it, an emergency restart is a restart not initiated by the user (divide by zero, unhandled exception etc), in which case i386 will make use of it
