arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-apq8084.dtsi exists in the mainline
kernel. We support more than what's in the Kconfig language
under mach-qcom. And yes LPAE is supported by apq8084 (as is
IDIV). Here's the /proc/cpuinfo on that device.

Krait supports IDIV for all versions. Scorpion doesn't support
IDIV or lpae. Here's the output of /proc/cpuinfo on that device.
