Perhaps I was ambiguous. This referred to these lines in
arch/arm/mach-pxa/include/mach/hardware.h:
#ifdef CONFIG_PXA27x
#define __cpu_is_pxa27x(id) \
({ \
unsigned int _id = (id) >> 4 & 0xfff; \
_id == 0x411; \
})
#else
#define __cpu_is_pxa27x(id) (0)
#endif
But you needed PXA27x anyway, so this seems moot now.

Stuff happens. Would my patch have been included you might have seen the
warning and this thread wouldn't exist.

Here I'm dragging you into a discussion about something that's been
bugging me for a while now. Hence the addresses that have nothing to do
with pxa in Cc:.
