Actually it is pickel. pickel is called in the rcS and looks whether nickel left a message the last time before the reboot. If nickel failed to leave this message (resetting a counter to 0) four times in a row, the user is presented with the choice to factory reset the device. If this part of the rcS is not executed (and this is the case if XCSor or KSM are enabled), there is not chance to factory reset the device by pressing the pinhole button.
