Given that this is a feature of the Cortex-A7 (actually, I believe it
applies to at least Cortex-A15 too) and not really specific to sunxi,
perhaps we can make this more generic?

Would it be so terrible to add an ifdef CORTEX_A7 here, or to call out
to (or call as a macro) a soc_init_cp15?
I'm cc-ing Albert for input these questions.
FWIW I notice there is some OMAP specific code right before the "bl
cpu_init_cp15", although that looks like an even more special case, so
perhaps not really precedent.
