This update adds many more "magic numbers" for various ARM CPUs, and 
also ensures that the implementer is ARM (as opposed to Marvell, etc.). 
The list is far from comprehensive, but it should cover many (but by no 
means all) of the cores in current use and it would not be hard to add 
support for other implementers and CPU names in future.

It has been suggested that this patch should use auxv rather than 
/proc/cpuinfo. Does anybody here have any insight/preferences?

Is the patch OK?

Andrew

The part number field is meaningless outside of the context of a a
specific vendor -- only taken as a pair can they refer to a specific
part.  So why is the vendor field hard-coded rather than factored into
the table of parts.

Maybe it would be better to have a table of tables, with the top-level
table being indexed by vendor id.  Something like

struct vendor_cpu {
  const char *part_no;
  const char *arch_name;
  const char *cpu_name;
};

struct all_cpus {
  const char *vendor_no;
  const struct vendor_cpu *vendor_parts;
}

struct vendor_cpu vendor_arm[] = { ... }

Now your code will allow easy addition of third-party cores.

R.
