Sure. Will has something like this in his patches:
static inline int cpu_is_part_of_mp_system(void)
{
u32 mpidr;
asm volatile("mrc p15, 0, %0, c0, c0, 5" : "=r" (mpidr));
return (mpidr >> 31) ? !(mpidr >> 30) : 0;
}
BTW, so far looks like we should only need this during init to set up things.
Regards,
Tony
