From: Will Deacon <will.deacon at arm.com>

Since 617276307cd4c ("ARM: vexpress: convert to multi-platform") it has
been impossible to select ARCH_VEXPRESS without ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM.

ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM doesn't make sense for NOMMU targets, not least
because of the need to hard-code the memory map. However, it should
still be possible to run NOMMU kernels on top of the Versatile Express
by selecting it as the only platform.

This patch creates a shim ARCH_VEXPRESS_NOMMU config option in the 'choice'
for "ARM system type" to make this possible again.

Arnd and Nicolas: I've removed your acks as I've changed the location
of the new block (as Nicolas suggested) and ever so slightly tweaked
the name of the new option.
