OK, I will base my changes on top of the corrections.

Sorry it doesn't parse :(. It should have been something like :

"The booting CPU updates the failed status @__early_cpu_boot_status (with
the MMU turned off). It is placed in head.txt to make sure it doesn't
share the same write back granule with anything else while the CPU updates
it."

Yes, that looks much better, will keep in mind.

The secondary_data.status updated by the successful CPUs which have mmu turned on, and
updating the cpu_running. But as Mark pointed out, complete() implies a barrier, hence
won't need it.

OK.

Thanks
