OK. I can partially see your point. I can't see how the extra 
coprocessor bits will be set in cpu_possible_mask and whether this will 
affect normal linux operation (ie: will it think it can bring that cpu 
up or migrate irqs to it?).

Since you don't see an issue with it, it must be just a missing gap in 
my knowledge that I'll fill while doing this work.

Thanks,
Qais
