For 35x processors we need to make compile time decisions to exlude the code 
that may not be applicable for the specifc processor e.g. excluding the code 
applicable for DSP/ SGX or both depending upon the exact part number.

What exactly do you need to define then for various 35xx processors that's 
different from 34xx?

How about trying to read the DSP revision register or something similar?
