That configuration is appropriate for the 5420, which allegedly has a hardware bug in the cache-coherence between the Cortex-A7 block and the Cortex-A15 block.
Newer Exynos 5 SoCs -- 5422/5800, 5620, etc -- don't have that bug. The scheduler should configured to  do HMP on all 8 (or 6) cores.
I don't have a 5410, but I assume it has the same bug as the 5420.

The XU3 kernel supplied by HardKernel shows all 8 cores, and does HMP scheduling across all 8.

I tried v1.0 of the Odroid-XU3 DTB patch, applied to linux-next 20150107.  I'm only seeing 1 core running on my Odroid-XU3.  The USB 3.0 port works (great!) but I'm not getting any HDMI output.  I didn't try DisplayPort.   I'll gladly try v2 of the patch on an XU3; is there a better base to apply the patch to?
