I'm still not convinced about the name of that flag. sun8i doesn't
mean anything, really. What you want to discriminate against it what
you're writing in your commit log: if it is an A80 or an A83t. The
A33, H3, A23, you name it are also part of the sun8i family, yet they
are completely irrelevant to this file.

Also, false is the default value, you can leave it out.

Do we really need to cache it? Can't we just have a pointer to the SMP
data structure and use that instead?
