Transition all boards that support arm cortex CPUs to armv7. This
leaves two armv6 kernels in the tree. RPI-B, which uses the BCM2835
which has a ARM1176 core, and VERSATILEPB, which is a qemu board setup
around the time RPI-B went in. Copy std.armv6 to std.armv7, even
though that duplicates a lot of stuff. More work needs to be done to
sort out the duplication.

All armv6 processors are plenty fast enough for HZ=1000.
No changes are made for older arm systems, because some chips are a bit
wimpy for 1000 while others do fine, so it has to be set on a per-config
basis.
we have both the Amlogic pic and a GIC. This may be the case in some
configurations.

each of the existing kernel configs. This gives a place to put config
that applies to the entire arch.
Add the ARM_NEW_PMAP option to std.armv6. This is working well in early
testing and it's time for wide exposure, but it's still nice to be able
to fall back to the old implementation for testing when a problem comes
along. Eventually the option and the old implementation will go away.
The opportunity now exists to move a whole lot of boilerplate from all the
arm kernel config files into std.arm*, but that's a commit for another day.
