Hopefully this works out. I suppose it's unlikely anyone will be

to occur.

I don't see how it can conflict with AVP code. First KB of IRAM is
reserved for reset handler. Am I missing something?

 From reset.h:

/* The first 1K of IRAM is permanently reserved for the CPU reset
handler */

I believe "CPU" in that context means AVP CPU. Still, I may not be correct, and
to be honest it's likely not too well defined even if that comment seems
clear-cut.

Hmm... Suddenly I recalled that LP2 was always disabled in downstream kernel. I
remember that I tried it once (couple years ago) and it didn't work, however I
presume it was just broken. Now I don't feel good with it.

Can't generic RAM be used for "resettable" status? Or it will be too slow?...

CPU1 always come up after CPU0, so RAM is already init'ed. Given that CPU0 can't be halted with running CPU1, I suppose CPU1 can't be booted first, right? Anyway it's not the case for linux.
