The test in proc-v7.S is too weak, we should probably tighten it to
prevent these kinds of problems, iow:

I tested it on some of my Cortex-A9 based boards.
(all the combinations of SMP/UP SoC and Secure/Non-secure boot)
and your patch worked fine!

Could you send it as a patch with git-log, please?
Please feel free to add my

I retract my crap patch.

Thank you!
