+ * mcpm_sync_init - Initialize the cluster synchronization support
+ *
+ * @power_up_setup: platform specific function invoked during very
+ * 		    early CPU/cluster bringup stage.
+ *
+ * This prepares memory used by vlocks and the MCPM state machine used
+ * across CPUs that may have their caches active or inactive. Must be
+ * called only after a successful call to mcpm_platform_register().
+ *
+ * The power_up_setup argument is a pointer to assembly code called when
+ * the MMU and caches are still disabled during boot  and no stack space is
+ * available. The affinity level passed to that code corresponds to the
+ * resource that needs to be initialized (e.g. 1 for cluster level, 0 for
+ * CPU level).  Proper exclusion mechanisms are already activated at that
+ * point.
