Ben Dooks bca028e7c2 ARM: mvebu: support running big-endian
Add indication we can run these cores in BE mode, and ensure that the
secondary CPU is set to big-endian mode in the initialisation code as
the initial code runs little-endian.

Paul Gortmaker 8bd26e3a7e arm: delete __cpuinit/__CPUINIT usage from all ARM users
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
and all __CPUINIT from assembly code.  It also had two ".previous"
section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
(aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

Thomas Petazzoni 580ff0eea1 arm: mvebu: don't hardcode a physical address in headsmp.S
Now that the coherency_init() function is called a bit earlier, we can
actually read the physical address of the coherency unit registers
from the Device Tree, and communicate that to the headsmp.S code,
which avoids hardcoding a physical address.

Gregory CLEMENT 45f5984a8a arm: mvebu: Add SMP support for Armada XP
This enables SMP support on the Armada XP processor. It adds the
mandatory functions to support SMP such as: the SMP initialization
functions in platsmp.c, the secondary CPU entry point in headsmp.S and
the CPU hotplug initial support in hotplug.c.
