The above commit doesn't guarantee that the cpu_reset() function called
by the soft_restart() routine is mapped by the idmap page table. It may
work but it depends on how big the kernel image is.

So you also need commit ea8c2e112445 (arm64: Extend the idmap to the
whole kernel image). But of course, you have to test them together to
make sure nothing breaks on 3.10.

Thanks.
