Yes, but then you don't get any SMP initialization (so we'd have to redo 
that in U-Boot, or port ATF) and you lose the usual workflow on defining 
how the hat device tree overlays work.

Overall, I think it's an interesting goal and you're more than happy to 
be my guest, but I think that spin tables are good enough for the device 
for now :). At least we'd be able to move people away from 32bit code.
