Or set ifdef CONFIG_CPU_V6 and test for the cp15 id register every time.. > Also, the ifndef seems incorrect - if we have TLS_REG_EMUL we seem to omit > all this code. Is the current ifdef elif wrong? The current code does not seem to do anything if TLS_REG_EMUL is set and HAS_TLS_REG is not set. HAS_TLS_REG depends !TLS_REG_EMUL.
