I applied the patches on top of korg's linux-rpi.git for-rpi-next,
resolved the io_map conflicts, and tested without U-Boot.
I'll try to work out why it doesn't work with U-Boot. I can't
immediately see anything in /proc/device-tree that indicates the RPi
firmware is modifying the DT that's passed to the kernel to exclude any
CPU1..3 spin tables, so either the kernel isn't hitting those purely by
luck, or I'm guessing wrong re: the issue with U-Boot.
