Cover letter [RFC PATCH 0/2] ARM: Add a generic macro for declaring proc_info structs

Using macros such as you suggest would force a consistent naming on different CPUs' helper functions, which actually seems rather a good thing. A possible downside is that the relationship between those functions and the macro becomes invisible in proc-*.S (though a very brief comment or two could easibly address that).
The consistent naming is already required for the !MULTI_CPU, etc. Same for the cache and tlb structs.
The processor structure has less strict requirements though.
OK, well I might have a go at this for the CPU func structs at some point, and see how it turns out.
Cheers
