Besides: when I want a crash dump, I want to dump the system state as of the moment it crashed and not as of $RANDOM_STUFF later, well-intentioned or not.
Let's reset the devices to a known state from within that kernel. If it can't do that for some reason, it should reboot the system through the BIOS (which had better be able to do it), and we're no worse off than before.
