Simply reading /proc/cpuinfo was insufficient. I posted this patch more for feedback and interest with minimal expectations that it would make it upstream.

Many people before you have learned the hard way that stashing stuff away in their private branches was not the best idea. If you are smart you are going to avoid that. It may not be the best solution though to just dump all the cp register to userspace. As Florian suggested there might be a smarter way to solve this. - Lars
