you pointed out yesterday that this could work on v7-m, too. As I based
my patches on 3.9-rc1 this patch (8164f7af88) wasn't included. When
updating this results in a warning, because I have

	6ebd4d0 (ARM: stub out read_cpuid and read_cpuid_ext for CPU_CP15=n)

from rmk's devel-stable branch.

The problem is that read_cpuid_ext is called which doesn't map to
something useful for v7-m. So maybe add a check:

	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CPU_CP15))
		return;

?

Best regards
