[RFC PATCH RESEND] ARM: spear: send SGI to trigger secondary CPU start

[elder@linaro.org (Alex Elder)]

The ARM spear machine uses the "holding pen" mechanism for starting
secondary CPUs.  Most implementations indicate it's a secondary
core's time to start by writing its CPU id into a location and
then signaling the core with a software-generated interrupt.

The spear code does not send the signal.  Comments elsewhere
in the code seem to indicate it should:
    The BootMonitor waits until it receives a soft interrupt, and
    then the secondary CPU branches to this address.

I suspect this is an oversight, and this patch proposes a remedy.

  *** I need the attention of a maintainer to verify this
  *** because I am unable to test this proposed change.
