Ok, this is one possibility. Another one would be something like this:

 Subject: [PATCH] target-arm: Provide entry vector for non-linux systems

Non-Linux systems must provide their own code for secondary CPU boot-up.
We use the same entry point as on the first CPU.

Moving in the right direction, but it would be cleaner if the secondary
CPU reset was handled inside arm_boot.c, I think (there is a TODO
in that file to that effect). Then we could get rid of the cpu reset
hook from realview.c.
