Only on A7? Is that specific to your platform?

Since these CPUs are all ARMv7, you can use isb directly. Nobody wants
to see more of the CP15 barriers.

Given that this code is identical to the shmobile hack, it'd be good to
make it common, one way or another.

It is slightly odd that some CPUs get initialized from the early asm
code, and some others do a detour via some C code. I'm sure this could
be made to work
