   4 Subject: [PATCH 010/454] irq_bcm2836: Send event when onlining sleeping cores
   5
   6 In order to reduce power consumption and bus traffic, it is sensible
   7 for secondary cores to enter a low-power idle state when waiting to
   8 be started. The wfe instruction causes a core to wait until an event
   9 or interrupt arrives before continuing to the next instruction.
  10 The sev instruction sends a wakeup event to the other cores, so call
  11 it from bcm2836_smp_boot_secondary, the function that wakes up the
  12 waiting cores during booting.
  13
  14 It is harmless to use this patch without the corresponding change
  15 adding wfe to the ARMv7/ARMv8-32 stubs, but if the stubs are updated
  16 and this patch is not applied then the other cores will sleep forever.
