Global symbols and keeping everything in one place I guess.
This symbol would be used in a few places, so I suppose having it
in a separate assembly file would be OK.

I wouldn't consider them hacks though. The hardware gives the option
to have control of many devices delegated solely to secure-only, or
secure/non-secure. Our present model is to support everything we can
in Linux directly, instead of through some firmware interface to a
non-existent firmware.
