[PATCH] xen/arm: Print message if reset did not work

[PATCH] xen/arm: Print message if reset did not work

[Bertrand Marquis]

If for some reason the hardware reset is not working, print a message to
the user every 5 seconds to warn him that the system did not reset
properly and Xen is still looping.

The message is printed infinitely so that someone connecting to a serial
console with no history would see the message coming after 5 seconds.

I'd think that one "!" is enough :-) but anyway
