We do put an AT_HWCAP entry in the aux table, which is a bitmap of
features supported by the cpu. But for some applications, such as

Allow userspace programs on ppc64 to use the (privileged) mfpvr
instruction to determine the processor type. At the moment it
emulates the instruction to provide the real PVR value, though it
