[PATCH 0/3] Fix Thumb-2 undef handling for mixed-arch kernels

[Dave Martin]

In kernels which support v6 and v7 platforms in a single binary
such as omap2plus_defconfig for example, undefined instruction
exceptions taken on Thumb instructions are not processed correctly,
because the kernel assumes at build-time that Thumb-2 won't be
supported in userspace.

This series implements a workaround, by allowing the __und_usr
handler to check the CPU architecture at runtime, in affected
kernels.

Changes since RFC:
  * Renamed the global variable to __cpu_architecture and provided
    cpu_architecture() as in inline function in <asm/system.h>.
    This brings back the old API, but more efficiently.
  * Dropped all the patches required to handle the reverted API
    change.
  * cpu_architecture is now declared __pure, which may lead to
    slightly more efficient code in some cases.
  * Added BUG_ON() to cpu_architecture() so that if
    __cpu_architecture is not set early enough, it gets noticed.

Thanks to Tixy and Nicolas Pitre for their helpful feedback which
helped slim down this series.
