Thank you for the quick confirmation!

I have just tested a patch, and it appears to work.

Is owl_v7_invalidate_l1 necessary? mach-sunxi (that Arnd pointed to as
example) uses secondary_startup directly, without custom assembler code.

Yes, the S500 SPS was luckily documented in the manual. The power-gating
for CPU2/3 is already implemented:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/arch/arm/mach-actions/platsmp.c

For S900 however SPS is sadly not documented... If you know who at
Actions Semi could help there, please also take a look at:

Best regards,

Andreas
