+	  This selects support for the CP15 thread register.
+	  It is defined to be available on ARMv6 or later.  However
+	  if the kernel is configured to support multiple CPUs including
+	  a pre-ARMv6 processors, or if a given ARMv6 processor doesn't
+	  implement the thread register for some reason, then access to
+	  this register from user space must be trapped and emulated.
+	  If user space is relying on the __kuser_get_tls code then
+	  there should not be any impact.
