does it work with -mcpu=cortex-a15?  I've tried crosstool as versions
2.23.52.20130913, 2.24.0.20141017 and 2.25.51.20150518, and they
all seem to behave as expected, failing with -mcpu=cortex-a9 and
marvell-pj4 but succeeding with -mcpu=cortex-a15 or marvell-pj4+idiv.

I've also found some /proc/cpuinfo output to cross-reference SoCs
to their core names.

		variant	part	revision	name		features
mmp2:		0	0x581	5		PJ4		idivt
dove:		0	0x581	5		PJ4		idivt
Armada 370	1	0x581	1		PJ4B		idivt
mmp3:		2	0x584	2		PJ4-MP		idiva idivt lpae
Armada XP	2	0x584	2		PJ4-MP		idiva idivt lpae
Berlin		2	0x584	2		PJ4-MP		idiva idivt lpae
