Subject: [PATCH v10 1/3] ARM: Add base support for ARMv7-M

Hi Uwe,

I've just noticed an issue with this patch that we haven't seen because 
we're not using MULTI_CPU, but I *think* if we were to do that things 
wouldn't work out.

This seems *not* to align with the struct processor defined in

arch/arm/include/asm/proc-fns.h:

...
extern struct processor {
	/* MISC
	 * get data abort address/flags
	 */
	void (*_data_abort)(unsigned long pc);
	/*
	 * Retrieve prefetch fault address
	 */
	unsigned long (*_prefetch_abort)(unsigned long lr);
	/*
	 * Set up any processor specifics
	 */
	void (*_proc_init)(void);
	/*
	 * Disable any processor specifics
	 */
...

So what's the deal? I presume this is because when Catalin originally 
did the very first M3 stuff it happened before this commit:

48d7927bdf Add a prefetch abort handler

And as we weren't using MULTI_CPU nobody noticed the bug when things got 
updated?
