The code flow is:
- Wakeup event
- ARM reboots and uses SOC mask ROM context restore helper
- Mask ROM code jump to restore pointers with MMU OFF.
- Restore code resets ARM CortexA8 state
-*- Trustzone SMI calls are made to restore some secure state
- Jump back from SRAM to C code
The dangling question to me is if any of the cpu state is needed by the
trustzone monitor code as a precondition. The doc's I have led me to believe
its ok, but I've not verified this.
