The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
and all __CPUINIT from assembly code. It also had two ".previous"
section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
(aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

Because of inline asm usage in platsmp.c, smc instruction
creates build failure for ARM V6+V7 build where as using instruction
encoding for smc breaks the thumb2 build.
So move the code snippet to separate asm file and mark
it with 'armv7-a$(plus_sec)' to avoid any build issues.

Selecting this symbol causes a build warning without SMP:
warning: (ARCH_KEYSTONE) selects ARM_ERRATA_798181 which has unmet direct dependencies (CPU_V7 && SMP)

Add basic SMP support for Keystone machines. This does not
include support for CPU hotplug for now.

Texas Instruments Keystone family of multi-core devices are
based on ARM Cortex A15. Patch adds basic definitions for a
new Keystone sub-architecture in ARM.
The TCI66xxK2H Communications Infrastructure Keystone SoCs
are member of the C66x family based on TI's new KeyStone 2
multi-core SoC Architecture designed specifically for high
performance wireless and networking infrastructure applications.
The SOCs contains many subsystems like Cortex A15 ARM CorePacs,
C66XX DSP CorePacs, MSMC memory controller, Tera Net bus,
IP Network, Navigator, Hyperlink, 1G/10G Ethernet, Radio layers
and queue based communication systems.
