But worse than anything else, you're here blacklisting CPUs that are perfectly happy to run in non-secure mode, which do have a GIC, and so on (I have a Cortex-A8 platform on my desk that has these features). If you want to go down the road of a single bootloader that is able to run on several SOCs, then do it the proper way: parse the device tree and have separate constraints for your SoC. But please don't blacklist random cores just because it fits your environment.
