NAK.  Sorry Arnd, you're worringly wrong on this.

secondary_startup will do the setend if necessary, there's no need
to do this kind of junk in each and every platform.  It's been this
way since:

commit 97bcb0fea590d3d704f985bec08f342d28992634

So, I hope you've not been telling platform folk to do this.  Please
audit the arm-soc code to make sure, thanks.
