ARM: Avoid building unsafe kernels on OMAP2 and MX3
OMAP2 (armv6) and MX3 turn off support for the V6K instructions, which when they include support for SMP kernels means that the resulting kernel is unsafe on SMP and can result in corrupted filesystems as we end up using unsafe bitops. Re-enable the use of V6K instructions on such kernels, and let such kernels running on V6 CPUs eat undefined instruction faults which will be much safer than filesystem corruption. Next merge window we can fix this properly (as it requires a much bigger set of changes.) Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
