forgive my ignorance, but would it be better to invert the logic ? have ARM cores that do have a CP15 define CONFIG_ARM_CP15 (or whatever) and then put all this logic behind that rather than grow a list of SoC's that lack it ?
As far as I understand CP15 is typically available(if not mandatory) on all armv7 processors. Here, IIUC, NVidia has a peculiar architecture that necessitates an armv4 processor supported by armv7 code. IMHO, this is the exceptional case.
