This comment looks rather misleading for several reasons:

1. we're bringing another CPU to normal power mode, which means it's
   coming _into_ coherency, not leaving coherency, so "side effect of
   disabling coherency" is wrong.

2. what has the state of the _local_ CPUs caches got to do with the
   remote CPU when it isn't even powered up?

Could you please reword this comment to be more accurate please - I
think the paragraph can be removed.
