Given this and the activity in the past 3 weeks I have done a new
serial v4 with a rebase and this fixed. The only change I made to the
series was in this one patch to correct the first call to
cpu_init_cp15 and update the comment. But I suggest you pick up this
new series to avoid conflicts.

Simon
