Is there any reason ARM doesn't implement sysconf.c? Too much
hardware variance?
We've had at least a few user reports over the last year that
things like sysconf (_SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_SIZE); would be useful
to have.
On POWER this was generically fixed with some auxval entries
that were passed down to userspace.
