Just to be clear: which document are you referring to?

The ARM ARM says that NSACR[13:0] is either RAZ/WI or writable from
secure for unimplemented coprocessors. So I believe the above is
safe. If you wanted to be really picky, you'd start by reading CPACR,
write either 1 or 3 to all the CPn fields, read it back again, see what
sticks, and populate NSACR accordingly. Did I hear someone saying
"Boring"? ;-)

We're getting into IMPDEF territory pretty quickly here. PLE only exists
on A9, and is optionnal there (and probably doesn't exist on all
versions, if memory serves well...).

This could be implemented as a per-platform optional feature,
though. What do you think?
