Just wonder if you had a chance to look into this patch set...

Plus, I also realized that maybe it's a good time to get rid of
init_FIQ() altogether? Maybe there are some not so obvious reasons for
its existence, but if not, does the following patch on top of this
series makes sense?

(Also, I noticed that we save no_fiq_insn w/o bothering about
!CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS case, but set_fiq_handler() has a special
handling for this. I wonder, was that on purpose, e.g. it does not
matter for init_FIQ(), or it was just overlooked? In latter case,
the patch fixes the issue.)

[PATCH] ARM: FIQ: Get rid of init_FIQ()

The function only saves initial arch-specific "no FIQ" instruction,
by placing the code into set_fiq_handler() we can:

- Have less code and logic in the platform-specific files;
- Have the code that manages FIQ vector overwriting in one place, i.e.
  not spread the logic around (both code placement wise and execution
  time wise).
