I didn't enable the configuration in the board file so it won't be 
available by default, should I do it? or should we leave the user to add 
this command in their board file?

The name 'cpu_reset' is not really my choice, when you enable the 
command MP you have to defines these functions (common/cmd_mp.c), I'm 
open to any suggestion but anyway we will have to define these function 
(except if I missed
something).

To avoid any conflict, I've defined them in the SoC code (they did the 
same for PowerPC), so another SoC can define these functions without any 
conflict.

By default, I didn't enable the common MP for the mx6, but the 
CONFIG_NUM_CPUS should be defined in the config file of the SoC (Quad => 
4, Dual => 2, Solo => 1).
I think a better way will be to read directly the SCU registers to get 
the current CPU configuration of the board, I'll update the patch.
