It is not possible to give a clear answer on this until the 3DS SoC chip has been decapped. But consider the success story about the SNES decapping [http://byuu.org/articles/emulation/decap here]. We have a team of proven experts, anxious to have a very thorough look inside the SoC of the 3DS. If there is something Nintendo wanted to hide, you can be sure it will be discovered.
