Please use up your available 80 characters per line in comments.

So we always set elf_hwcap to the capabilities of the previous cpu.

I think tmp_hwcap should be declared and initialized inside the outer loop
instead having to manually reset it like this.

And then reset it here to the boot cpu.

Shoudn't we only report the features supported by all cores?  Otherwise
we'll still have problems if the boot cpu supports a feature, but not
others.

Something like:

	for () {
		unsigned long this_hwcap = 0;

		for (i = 0; i < strlen(isa); i++)
			this_hwcap |= isa2hwcap[(unsigned char)(isa[i])];

		if (elf_hwcap)
			elf_hwcap &= this_hwcap;
		else
			elf_hwcap = this_hwcap;
	}
