Is it really how the ROM code is implemented, as a pen holding/release
mechanism (which sounds like how this was implemented previously in the
kernel actually) or should this be described in a more generic way as
the physical address of the register where the secondary CPUs reset
vector address must be written to? Or something along these lines.

Just a nit, but if NSP and NS are sharing the same mechanism, would not
a more "NS-centric" property be more appropriate because NS came before NSP?
