The SiRF Prima2 and Atlas platform code was contributed by Cambridge
Silicon Radio (CSR) after aquiring the original SiRF company, and
maintained by Barry Song. CSR was subsequently acquired by Qualcomm,
who no longer have an interest in maintaining the SoC platform but
instead have released more recent SoCs for the same market in the
Snapdragon family.
As Barry is no longer working for the company, nobody else there
wants to maintain it, and there are no third-party users, the
best way forward seems to be to completely remove it.
Thanks to Barry for maintaining the platform for the past ten years.

Consolidating the "pen_release" stuff amongst the various SoC
implementations gives credence to having a CPU holding pen for
secondary CPUs. However, this is far from the truth.
Many SoC implementations cargo-cult copied various bits of the pen
release implementation from the initial Realview/Versatile Express
implementation without understanding what it was or why it existed.
The reason it existed is because these are _development_ platforms,
and some board firmware is unable to individually control the
startup of secondary CPUs. Moreover, they do not have a way to
power down or reset secondary CPUs for hot-unplug. Hence, the
pen_release implementation was designed for ARM Ltd's development
platforms to provide a working implementation, even though it is
very far from what is required.
It was decided a while back to reduce the duplication by consolidating
the "pen_release" variable, but this only made the situation worse -
we have ended up with several implementations that read this variable
but do not write it - again, showing the cargo-cult mentality at work,
lack of proper review of new code, and in some cases a lack of testing.
While it would be preferable to remove pen_release entirely from the
kernel, this is not possible without help from the SoC maintainers,
which seems to be lacking. However, I want to remove pen_release from
arch code to remove the credence that having it gives.
This patch removes pen_release from the arch code entirely, adding
private per-SoC definitions for it instead, and explicitly stating
that write_pen_release() is cargo-cult copied and should not be
copied any further. Rename write_pen_release() in a similar fashion
as well.

Now that __cpuinit has been removed, the __ref markings on these
functions are useless. Remove them. This also reduces the size of
the multi_v7_defconfig image:
$ size before after
text data bss dec hex filename
12683578 1470996 348904 14503478 dd4e36 before
12683274 1470996 348904 14503174 dd4d06 after
presumably because now we don't have to jump to code in the
.ref.text section and/or the noinline marking is removed.

Remove the majority of cache flushing calls from the individual platform
files. This is now handled by the core code.

The code in arch/arm/mach-prima2/headsmp.S is used for
both boot time initialization and for cpu hotplug,
so it must not be discarded after the initial boot
is complete. This replaces the __INIT annotation
with __CPUINIT, and marks the sirfsoc_cpu_die as
__ref to annotate that it correctly uses the sections.
Without this patch, building prima2_defconfig results in:
WARNING: arch/arm/mach-prima2/built-in.o(.cpuinit.text+0x130): Section mismatch in reference from the function sirfsoc_boot_secondary() to the function .init.text:sirfsoc_secondary_startup()
The function __cpuinit sirfsoc_boot_secondary() references
a function __init sirfsoc_secondary_startup().
If sirfsoc_secondary_startup is only used by sirfsoc_boot_secondary then
annotate sirfsoc_secondary_startup with a matching annotation.

this patch adds tick timer, smp entries and generic DT machine
for SiRFmarco dual-core SMP chips.
with the added marco, we change the defconfig, using the same
defconfig, we get a zImage which can work on both prima2 and
marco.
