Currently we have arch/arm/kernel/tcm.c and related extensions to kernel/vmlinux.kds.S, which enables us to tag some certain code to be compiled into TCM memory which we map statically to 0xfffe0000 thru 0xfffeffff, but this is a better approach, especially nice since it is the solution to the multiplatform situation, as we need to select to copy code into that memory only on the specific target. I'll try to have a deeper look at this, please keep me on CC for this series.
