Do we really need all this ifdef else throughout this series?
I think we already have things in place to do this dynamically
like we already do for thumb, smp_on_up, v6 vs v7 and so on.
By dynamically, do you mean at run-time? We won't be able to compile
both classic and LPAE in the same kernel, there is just too much
difference between them (2 vs 3 levels of page tables - LPAE is an
entirely new format).
If you mean some simpler macros like what we have for ARM/THUMB to
reduce the number of lines, I'm fine with it though we don't always have
a 1:1 mapping between LPAE and non-LPAE instructions.
Alternatively, I'm happy to create a separate proc-v7lpae.S file.
That would probably be the best option.
OK, I'll move this code to a separate file. The v7 setup code got
pretty hard to read.
