Stephen should be able to find out about the Qualcomm cores, and http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/426289 has some information about the others: * Brahma-B15 supports all three. * Dove (PJ4) reports idiv only in thumb mode, which I'm tempted to ignore for the kernel, as it supports neither lpae nor idiva. * Armada 370/XP (PJ4B) reports support for idiva and idivt, but according to https://groups.google.com/a/dartlang.org/forum/#!topic/reviews/9wvsJvq0YYY that may be a lie. * According to the same source, Krait fails to report idiva and idivt, but supports both anyway. However, I found reports on the web where /proc/cpuinfo correctly contains the flags on the same SoC (APQ8064) that was mentioned there, so maybe they were just running an old kernel. Arnd
