/*************************************************************************
 * Super simple bootloader
 * Preserve loaded values that we need to pass to the kernel (r0, r1, r2)
 * Additionally M5 puts the kernel start address in r3
 *
 * Upon executing this code:
 * r0 = 0, r1 = machine number, r2 = atags ptr
 * r3 = kernel start address
 *
 * CPU 0 should branch to the kernel start address and it's done with
 * the boot loader. Other CPUs need to start in a wfi loop. When CPU0 sends
 * an IPI the slave CPUs reads a register which CPU0 has programmed with the
 * boot address for the secondary cpu
