If we do this then it would be a separate series focused on
refactoring start.S. Are you saying that you want that series before
we address this relocation series? Where specifically should we put
the new start.S and what should we call it? I assume that all the
little start.S files will remain or are you wanting to rename all of
those into some other filename in arch/arm/cpu/... In which case what
should those be called?

It is good to be really specific so that I know the destination port
before embarking on a new voyage.

Regards,
Simon
