KCOV is code coverage collection facility used, in particular, by syzkaller
system call fuzzer. There is some interest in using syzkaller on arm devices.
So port KCOV to arm.
On implementation level this merely declares that KCOV is supported and
disables instrumentation of 3 special cases. Reasons for disabling are
commented in code.
Tested with qemu-system-arm/vexpress-a15.
