[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v1 1/2] utils: Add helper to read arm MIDR_EL1 register

[vijay.kilari@gmail.com]

From: Vijaya Kumar K <Vijaya.Kumar@cavium.com>

Add helper API to read MIDR_EL1 registers to fetch
cpu identification information. This helps in
adding errata's and architecture specific features.

This is implemented only for arm architecture.
