>    of the common miscellaneous interrupt handler routine(for
>    Vector 0) used to handle reset and other sources of Vector
>    0 interrupt.
> 2. Separate the task for handling the reset
> 3. Simplification of reset request submission and pending reset

> 1. Interrupt is disabled while common miscellaneous interrupt
>    handler is entered and re-enabled before it is exit. This
>    reduces the interrupt handling latency as compared to older
>    interrupt handling scheme where interrupt was being disabled
>    in interrupt handler context and re-enabled in task context
>    some time later. Made Miscellaneous interrupt handler more
>    generic to handle all sources including reset interrupt source.
> 2. New reset service task has been introduced to service the 
>    reset handling.
> 3. Introduces new reset service task for honoring software reset
>    requests like from network stack related to timeout and serving
>    the pending reset request(to reset the driver and associated
>    clients).
