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.

- Use new option SMP_ON_UP instead of (mis)using specific CPU type.
By this, any SMP kernel can be compiled with SMP_ON_UP support.
- Enable runtime detection of CPU multiprocessor extensions only
if SMP_ON_UP option is used. In other cases (pure SMP or UP),
statically compile only required variant.
- Don't leak multiprocessor instructions to UP kernel.
- Correctly handle data cache write back to point of unification.
DCCMVAU is supported on all armv7 cpus.
- For SMP_ON_UP kernels, detect proper TTB flags on runtime.

for later Cortex-A CPUs that support the Multiprocessor Extensions. This
will be needed to support both in a single GENERIC kernel while still
being able to only build for a single SoC.

Clocks, GPIO, UART, SD card / eMMC, USB, watchdog, and ethernet are
supported. Note that the A83T contains two clusters of four Cortex-A7
CPUs, and only CPUs in first cluster are started for now.
Tested on a Sinovoip Banana Pi BPI-M3.
