I thought of introducing a cleanup function which would allow us to cleanup
things which are SOC specific(all SOC under armv7 as per the patch).
And, used the same function to cleanup some exynos specific stuff before
booting linux.
May be, I should have used a different name instead of
arch_cleanup_before_linux?
