The SPL *should* work on tegra30 with only minor changes, so just
trying to look forward.

I think this is just a holdover from the old code, I'll look at
purging it.

Yes, I remove some of it in "tegra20: Remove CPU init code from
tegra20 u-boot".  I'll look at rolling that patch into this one, but I
originally made it two patches to try to preserve building and booting
at every patch.

Those defines are only used for the Cortex A9 init, so it should only
be needed from the SPL.
