Tried that, same effect. Interestingly, rebooting without a full
init cycle crashes differently:
aboot: loading uncompressed vmlinuz-3.8.4...
aboot: loading compressed vmlinuz-3.8.4...
aboot: PHDR 0 vaddr 0xfffffc0000310000 offset 0x100 size 0x59e4ac

Without the irongate patch, the same (HALT on soft reboot, hard
crash on full init) happens.
Any hints on making the whole thing more debuggable are
appreciated.
