Tested-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

It does fix the boot on PJ4B-MP based processors that don't have iWMMXt
extensions such as the Armada XP. I've tested the following cases:

* Armada XP (PJ4B-MP), with CONFIG_MACH_DOVE disabled and enabled
* Armada 370 (PJ4B), with CONFIG_MACH_DOVE disabled and enabled

and all of them boot, while before your patch series, 3.15-rc1 fails to
boot on Armada XP with CONFIG_MACH_DOVE enabled.

Thanks!

Thomas
