Don't forget to update the comments as well - there's two of them.

I'm not entirely clear on what you're referring to here.  Are you
talking about the secondary cpu entry point?  I've fixed up that
comment now as well as a s/__lookup_machine_type/__lookup_processor_type/
typo right before the call to __enable_mmu.

I've also removed the machine type lookup from head-nommu.S and I'll
repost the patch later today.

Thanks for the review,
