I guess that's right, OMAP2 is ARM1136 and doesn't have the K extensions.

Would it make sense to have the v6 MCR equivalent as an altetnative?
Something like:

#elseif __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ >= 6
#define wfi()   __asm__ __volatile__ ( \
    "mov     r0, #0\n\t" \
    "mcr     p15, 0, r0, c7, c0, 4\n\t" \
    ::: "r0"
)
#endif

This MCR is a mandatory part of the architecture for v6, but it's not
mandatory for older processors.
