The LEON3 doesn't, it does not define bsp_reset. I tried to preserve the 
behaviour of LEON2 and ERC32 BSPs, the bsp_reset is called from the 
fatal handler. On all SPARC BSPs, ending up in BSP_fatal_return is a 
result of bootcard or bsp_start_on_secondary_processor returning which 
they should never do. The two functions also have different error exit 
codes.
