Aaargh, that is obviously incorrect, my mistake. You're right that this
is for whole cluster as all cores share ARMCLK (and clock dividers).
However you can enable WFI/WFE detection per core.

The datasheet does not describe what will happen exactly when you enable
the WFI/WFE detection for core0 and leave it disabled for other cores. I
assume that upon entering WFI on core0 everything will be slowed down
regardless of pending work on other cores but I didn't test it.
