This patch should allow a CPU to register it's own cache ops. This shall allow multiple CPUs with different cache handlings to be supported.
sorry, what's the point ? this would make sense if you wanted to build one u- boot image to run on multiple SoCs, but since that doesn't make sense, i don't see what this patch gets you.
Well that's the ultimate goal, isn't it ...
is it actually ? i must have missed the memo.
support for multiple-SoC-support-in-a-single-image shouldn't bloat the single SoC case. this code seems to do just that. so it sounds like you should find a CONFIG name for this setup and start putting everything behind that.
That's a good point indeed. The other question is, if gcc4.6's LTO won't fix that for us. Surely enough though, we can't rely on that.
i don't think LTO would help here -mike
