But sadly not very possible. I believe the only way to check for the 
processor is via coprocessor instructions, which are only available in 
privileged mode. I guess I need to ask the kernel somehow, as that must 
be compiled with support, but I can't see how. Sorry! Can we assume if 
its arm5vtel it is also iWMMXT?

Thanks,
