Thanks for resending, I saw the original but somehow failed to add it to
my queue of things to look at, sorry!

This mask includes the revision field (last nibble). Is it intentional
too only support a single revision of this processor?

v7_init fiddles with the implementation defined ACTLR register in a
Cortex-A15/A7 specific manner. Is the B15 compatible with ARM's Cortex
A15 in this regard?

If not then I think this should be changed to:

ca7mp_init:
ca15mp_init:
        /* Set up the SMP bit in ACTLR */
        mrc   CP32(r0, ACTLR)
        orr   r0, r0, #(ACTLR_V7_SMP) /* enable SMP bit */
        mcr   CP32(r0, ACTLR)
v7_init: /* Generic v7 init */
        mov   pc, lr

and the A15/A7 entries updated to point to the new names.

Perhaps there isn't much point in listing a processor here which doesn't
need any init, but doing so will mean it'll get picked up if we ever add
some init for generic v7, or if we add new hooks etc.
