That's because I follow the ethos of "why write complex code when
simple and obvious code will do" and we'd done this for the original
SA11x0 CPU resume code which formed (to some extent) the basis of the
consolidated version we have today.
At the time cpu_resume() was consolidated (which is actually only in
the last five years or so) there wasn't the requirement to have large
kernels link, so rewriting it as relatively complex implementation
would've been damned stupid and a needless change in the consolidation
effort.
