This is very difficult, and moreover, uasm wrap the assembly in C
functions, can it be more beautiful? In my opinion, uasm is only used
for performance-critical routines, not for beautiful code. But anyway,
0x900000003ff01000 should be improved.

I doubt this can be done, every CPU has its own method of SMP bringup.

This will be wholly removed.

The layout of low 2MB in our design:
0x80000000 the first MB, the first 64K:Exception vector
0x80010000 the first MB, the second 64K:STR(suspend) data
0x80020000 the first MB, the third and fourth 64K:UEFI HOB
0x80040000 the first MB, the fifth 64K:RT-Thread for SMC
0x80100000 the second MB, the first 64K:KEXEC code
0x80108000 the second MB, the second 64K:KEXEC data

All allocated buffer from the old kernel is not safe, because the new
kernel may be larger than the old kernel. Even if the low 2MB is not a
perfect place, it is the best place we can choose.
