[PATCH v4 0/5] ARM: SMP: support Broadcom mobile SoCs

[Trouble posting patches today. I'm very sorry about the duplicates.]
This series adds SMP support for two Broadcom mobile SoC families.
It uses CPU_METHOD_OF_DECLARE() so that SMP operations are assigned
using device tree rather than adding it to a machine definition in a
board file.
The enable method starts a secondary core by writing to a register
monitored by CPUs spinning in a ROM-based holding pen loop. The
address of this register is recorded as a property in the "cpus"
node of the device tree.

Note:
This series is based on v3.15-rc4, plus one more recently-posted patch:
