 ok, so you are suggesting to re word this right ?

 We do not intend to support ES1.0 right ? . ok then id.c needs to be
 cleaned up to remove ES1.0 traces.

The patch is doing this for secondary cpu's as well in the
call back  omap4_secondary_init.

 oh ok. did not realize this. Will add the change for this then.
