All the SDM630, SDM636 and SDM660 smartphones I ever saw are booting off
of the BIG cluster (and that's why cpu@100 is CPU0), and at 0x100 you
find the first BIG CPU.

This is wrong, the downstream kernel may be doing "magic" to switch
clusters the other way around, and this is likely... Please, run your
benchmark on a upstream kernel: there may be differences.
