No secure SRAM is required. You can normal SRAM, or even a normal region
of RAM that is accessed from secure mode. Not as nice as having proper
SRAM as on sun7i, but still perfectly functional.

Please consider having a proper PSCI implementation instead of always
adding more code that will effectively lock people out of using the
virtualization features the core has.
