Subject: arm/arm64: smp_spin_table.c for arm32?

Hi guys,

I'm currently adapting a port from a machine-file based approach to driver based, and I
would have a need for arch/arm64/kernel/smp_spin_table.c -- it's *exactly* my use
case, but for arm32.
So what would be my options here?

1) Make myself a custom driver and ignore this one...
2) Fully duplicate smp_spin_table.c in arch/arm/kernel...
3) .... something else involving a shared bit of code?

I obviously would prefer 3), however, I don't see any obvious way of 'sharing' anything
between these two arch...
Any suggestion greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Michel
