You need to set the M bit in all TLB entries that reference memory that  
is shared.  U-Boot already does this, but perhaps the code you're  
running on the secondary CPU does not?  Is U-Boot still running on core  
0 at that point?

Also be sure you're using the proper memory barriers to ensure that  
changes are seen in the right order.
