Hi Alexandre,

Thank you for reviewing the series.

We ran into similar header problems with these as we did with mips.h. Moving alternative.h 
from errata_list.h to init.c seemed like the simplest solution. Including into 
entry.S does seem unnecessary, though.

I addressed the rest of your comments in v5.

Best regards,
Aleksa
