This interface is stable and in shipping products at this time, and so 
the api will remain constant.

We ran into problems with some gcc versions messing up the 
"arch_extension sec" when passing it to the assembler, so we broke it 
out to its own .S file following the example of omap and highbank. I 
suspect that they did it for the same reason.

ok. done.

It was originally in init_machine section but I was told that that was 
too late and init_irq would be better, and I saw that highbank also has 
it in init_irq. I agree that it is unrelated to irq - is there a better 
place to put this in ?
