I apologize for the delay.

The reason for using a custom version was to avoid enabling
ARMV8_MULTIENTRY config option since the Exynos7 code was ready for
it.

This patch without the ARMV8_MULTIENTRY and ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1 config
options does not switch the boot CPU from EL3 to EL1. So it would be
preferable to not merge this patch until ARMV8_MULTIENTRY  is enabled
for Exynos7.
