TTBR1 will be set by generic code. You don't need to do anything special
now that my fixes for TI's horrid physical address space switch are in.
(you may remember, you tested the patches...)

secondary_startup now loads r4/r5 with the 64-bit physical swapper page
table address, and r8 contains the _pfn_ of the swapper_pg_dir.

It then calls through to (eventually) __v7_setup, which passes these
registers through to the v7_ttb_setup asm macro - r4 as ttbr0l, r5 as
ttbr0h, and r8 as ttbr1.

v7_ttb_setup converts the PFN to a physical address and programs it
into TTBR1. TTBR0 is set directly from r4/r5 in generic code paths in
head.S::__enable_mmu.

There is no need to do any messing around when starting up a secondary
core on Keystone2. In fact, my patches that I pointed you at a few
months ago ripped out all that code. The entire keystone2 platsmp.c
file now contains only this code:

static int keystone_smp_boot_secondary(unsigned int cpu,
struct task_struct *idle)
{
unsigned long start = virt_to_idmap(&secondary_startup);
int error;

pr_debug("keystone-smp: booting cpu %d, vector %08lx\n",
cpu, start);

error = keystone_cpu_smc(KEYSTONE_MON_CPU_UP_IDX, cpu, start);
if (error)
pr_err("CPU %d bringup failed with %d\n", cpu, error);

return error;
}

struct smp_operations keystone_smp_ops __initdata = {
.smp_boot_secondary = keystone_smp_boot_secondary,
};

which is a lot simpler than it was.
