When a masked exception happens, the SH4 CPU generates a non-masked
reset exception, which then jumps to the reset vector at address
0xA0000000. While this is emulated correctly in QEMU, this does not
work when using a kernel and initrd as this address then contain an
illegal instruction (and there is no guarantee the kernel and initrd
haven't been overwritten).

Therefore call qemu_system_reset_request to reload the kernel and initrd
and load the program counter to the kernel entry point.

The qemu_system_reset_request() prototype is changing.  There is a
conflict with another merged pull request.  Please rebase onto
https://github.com/stefanha/qemu.git staging.

target/sh4/helper.c:102:39: error: too few arguments to function call, single argument 'reason' was not specified
            qemu_system_reset_request();

You'll probably want SHUTDOWN_CAUSE_GUEST_RESET as the reason, based on
the changes made to other target/ files.

Indeed I confirm. This is the same as the triple fault on x86, which
uses SHUTDOWN_CAUSE_GUEST_RESET.
