Ah, OK -- I somewhat missed the point, the was focusing on the other
patches (I notice I didn't fix #ifdef to #if either...)

Anyway, this patch can be drastically simplified -- i.e.,
the #if conditional should just go away, along with the
xscale-style code (which really doesn't make sense for a v7-only
file).

So we'd end up with something like:

        __asm__ __volatile__ (
                "mcr    p15, 0, %0, c1, c0, 2\n\t"
                "isb"
                : "r" (value));

Better?
