Here I see:

"In the Cortex-A9 MPCore Technical Reference Manual I found the SMPnAMP Signal which switches between SMP or AMP for each Processor."

While it is encouraging to see that AMP _is_ a supported feature with A9, I fail to understand what the use of making this known to the hardware might be.

I supposed AMP vs SMP would be just a matter of software.
