You missed modifying the patch to reflect the authorship to be Roger's.

Please use git commit --amend --author "somebody s name " 

Also Roger should be credited with Reported-by. I can add that.

Pls add:

/* See 'secondary_startup_64' for how bare metal does it. */

Might want to mention that for AP on bare metal they are set in 
'secondary_start_64'

...

Is it OK to set this twice? 

Meaning remove the 'if (!cpu)..' check so that this code path is run for BSP 
and AP?

Hmm. You must be using and older tree. The new one has __ref comment.
