[PATCH] Shrink thread_info a bit

Thread info comes in on Versatile Express at 752 bytes in size, which
is quite large.  Of this, the crunch state is 184 bytes, which is only
used on Cirrus Logic devices.

It is wasteful to have this in every kernel when Cirrus Logic CPUs
are not that widely used.  So make this conditional.
