proc-v7.S:

#if defined(CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472) && defined(CONFIG_SMP)
        ALT_SMP(cmp r6, #0x30)                  @ present prior to r3p0
        ALT_UP_B(1f)
	mrclt   p15, 0, r10, c15, c0, 1         @ read diagnostic register
        orrlt   r10, r10, #1 << 11              @ set bit #11
        mcrlt   p15, 0, r10, c15, c0, 1         @ write diagnostic register
1:
#endif

Is ALT_SMP()/ALT_UP available this early during boot?

If it is, do we need the && defined(CONFIG_SMP)? ALT_UP_... should do
the right thing. (Okk, I guess the ifdef saves cca 16 bytes in the
image...)
