Right, but we also need to deal with

We have quite a few initcalls that exit early with various soc_is, cpu_is,
cpu_class_is tests that would fail for multi zImage kernels. Some of these
have been patched away with additional calls in MACHINE_START, but some
still remain.

We probably always need to return false for all soc_is_omapxxxx() unless
the SoC detection is initialized in id.c.

Tony
