For SMP, Is platform specific secondary startup function really needed?

I'm doing some cleanup of SMP patches based on Russell and Catalin's
input which was real helpful. It seems to me that there is not always a
need for a platform specific secondary startup.

I have tested with just letting CPU1 go straight to secondary_startup()
in head.S and it works fine.

I'm probably missing something obvious, if so can you share it?

Thanks,
John
