There is definitely room for improvement, by factoring in some common
code across platforms. But I see that as a second phase, and started by
just moving things to the SoC descriptor, all the code staying mostly
the same.
If we agree the method, then I'll start looking at reducing the platform
footprint by offering common methods that plug into the SMP ops.
