That would take a serious arch overhaul not unlike the migration to DT, and I suspect multiple targets would break. So far, this argc == -2 stuff has been used on only two targets that I could see, so I don't believe it belongs in head.S even with such an overhaul. That said, if _real_ UHI spec compliance gets in, the SoC-specific stuff could just be dropped. In the meantime, I propose this patch with the changes previously suggested.
