Hmm that probably won't help as we'd have to still have a 1:1
mapping in cpu_die() to put CPU1 into WFI and release it in
smp_park_secondary() to the bootrom.
Anyways, I think in your use case it's the suspend/resume that needs
the state preserved for CPU1. Do you need kexec working in your use
case?
