ARM: 8477/1: runtime patch udiv/sdiv instructions into __aeabi_{u}idiv()

The ARM compiler inserts calls to __aeabi_idiv() and
__aeabi_uidiv() when it needs to perform division on signed and
unsigned integers. If a processor has support for the sdiv and
udiv instructions, the kernel may overwrite the beginning of those
functions with those instructions and a "bx lr" to get better
performance.

To ensure that those functions are aligned to a 32-bit word for easier
patching (which might not always be the case in Thumb mode) and that
the two patched instructions end up in the same cache line, a 8-byte
alignment is enforced when ARM_PATCH_IDIV is selected.

This was heavily inspired by a previous patch from Stephen Boyd.

+	  The ARM compiler inserts calls to __aeabi_idiv() and
+	  __aeabi_uidiv() when it needs to perform division on signed
+	  and unsigned integers. Some v7 CPUs have support for the sdiv
+	  and udiv instructions that can be used to implement those
+	  functions.
+
+	  Enabling this option allows the kernel to modify itself to
+	  replace the first two instructions of these library functions
+	  with the sdiv or udiv plus "bx lr" instructions when the CPU
+	  it is running on supports them. Typically this will be faster
+	  and less power intensive than running the original library
+	  code to do integer division.
