Not yet. There are controls to power down different bits of the chip,
assert internal resets and so on so it might be possible to add that
later but I haven't worked out where those bits are yet for the second
cpu.

I'll do that for the v2.

Was there anything else that looked fishy? Every other platform seems
to have a lot of code for moving secondary CPUs from the boot ROM into
somewhere the kernel can control the order in which they come online
(vendor code has a copy/paste of the vexpress code) so I was worried I
missed something.

Thanks,

Daniel
