[PATCH v2] ARM: let CPUs not being able to run in ARM mode enter in THUMB mode

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Some ARM cores are not capable to run in ARM mode (e.g. Cortex-M3). So
obviously these cannot enter the kernel in ARM mode. Make an exception
for them and let them enter in THUMB mode.

Changes since (implicit) v1,
id: 1357904397-8476-1-git-send-email-u.kleine-koenig at pengutronix.de:

 - drop modification to entry for MMU machines
 - don't select user-visible symbols
 - rename THUMBONLY_CPU to CPU_THUMBONLY
 - move CPU_THUMBONLY definition further down in arch/arm/mm/Kconfig
