I've read it, we knew about uname, /proc and the TLS HWCAP flag,
and i thought it's clear that uname is inappropriate for determining
isa features because we don't know the arm naming scheme used in the
future..
so the situation is
- dmb vs cp15 dispatch needs extra uname syscall and fragile string
parsing at program startup
- there is no reasonable way to determine kuser page availability
on armv6k+ if pax kernel needs to be supported (asking the system
integrator or using process_vm_readv are not reasonable)
- there is no reasonable way to determine if the system is smp and
needs barriers (parsing /proc/cpuinfo is not reasonable)
