No, and you don't need to.  The idea is:

1. Kernel is loaded (without caches or MMU)
2. Kernel head-armv.S code sets up enough to get the kernel C code
   running.
3. paging_init() and friends set up all the mappings required for
   the architecture.  At this point, the machine_is_xxx() macros
   are workable.

This seems to be a re-occuring problem.  head-arm?.S is not supposed to
contain all the setup code, and MUST NOT be used for that purpose!

You will need to register architecture numbers to use the machine_is_xxx()
stuff - read the stuff in Documentation/arm.
