[PATCH 2/3] ARM: correctly identify ARMv6 K/Z

The ARMv6 K/Z derivatives have a v7 compatible MMU, but all other parts
(including the cache handling) is still at v6. As we don't make use of
the more advanced features of the v7 MMU in Barebox, it's okay to just
override this to properly identify the CPU as ARMv6.
