Ok, thanks a lot! So the reporting in /proc/cpuinfo clearly matches
the actual features, and we can just treat this as no LPAE / no IDIV
for kernel compilation, as nobody ever seems to use THUMB2_KERNEL
in practice.

PJ4-MP is like Cortex-A15/A7/A12/A17 and supports both IDIV and LPAE,
which leaves the question whether Scorpion or Krait do the same as
well, or whether they are outliers and need a special configuration.
