Likewise Andre,

The primary reason is to be consistent with every other sunxi_cpu_* 
function, while the *tertiary* reason is that it was useful to have that 
argument preserved in a debug build, so that when I was tracing 
execution I could be *sure* that the correct CPU was being chosen (this 
was before I found out that the GIC400 base was being determined 
incorrectly). As for the secondary reason...

Ah, but the T113 is already such an SoC. From the user manual:
- The Soft Entry Address Register of CPU0 is 0x070005C4.
- The Soft Entry Address Register of CPU1 is 0x070005C8.

...so my second reason for the function prototype being the way it is 
(and perhaps something which I should be driving home in patch 4/5) is 
indeed to give that impression: that it is *not* the case that none of 
the sunxis have independent secondary entry point registers.

Easy enough, it shall be done!

Thanks,
