I'm trying to migrate imx6q to this infrastructure, but seeing some
facts that might stop me from the effort.  Please help me understand
these facts are correct.

It seems to me that the only benefit that imx6q gains from the
infrastructure is the register saving, and I fail to see any benefit
on the restoring.

 * I still have to save physical base of l2x0 for register restoring.
 * I do not have the physical address of l2x0_saved_regs, and I have
   to manage to get it somehow.
