What are the changes for setting initial SP and PC for?
Why is this SoC special? Is it different from the
stm32f205 SoC we model already?

I'm not in general a fan of individual board models having
their own custom behaviour for -kernel. The inconsistencies
between architectures and between A- and M- profile are
awkward enough as it is...
