Apart from the broken IRQ migration, and the way CPU0 immediately
reawakes if it is offlined on OMAP4 (even when IRQs are migrated off
CPU0) because omap_read_auxcoreboot0() returns 0, is there any other
reason?

With fixed IRQ migration and forcing CPU0 into an infinite WFI loop,
I can offline CPU0 and still have a running system.
