The boot_lock is something that was required for ARM development
platforms to ensure that the delay calibration worked properly.  This
is not necessary for modern platforms that have better bus bandwidth
and do not need to calibrate the delay loop for secondary cores.
Remove the boot_lock entirely.

Andy have you had a chance to test/apply this patch?
I would rather folk do not _apply_ these patches - the final patch
is dependent on all the preceeding patches, and if they're applied
to individual trees, it will mean that the final patch has to be
delayed by a complete kernel development cycle to avoid bisect
breakage.
