Everything that is based on ARMv7a should have a cp15 TLS register.
Enable it by default so it's not accidentally missed in newer board
configurations. In fact, this could be enabled for ARMv6 as well, but we
currently don't distinguish between ARMv5 and ARMv6 in the build system.
This can still be disabled by setting it to "false" in the board
configuration, but this shouldn't ever be needed.

This is the result of a recent conversation around the x86 ABI
and its relationship with how we build platform images. Briefly:
- We want to use feature-based macros like ARCH_X86_HAVE_$FEATURE
instead of relying on explicit compiler macros like -DUSE_$FEATURE
- We want to allow for other x86-based arch variants, e.g. if
someone wants to build Android for a CPU that doesn't support
the NDK x86 ABI. However, we need to ensure these are not
tagged compatible by mistake (see check at the end of TARGET_linux-x86.mk)
- There are several flags which use is dubious now that we have
a dedicated toolchain to build all the x86 stuff. Comment them
as 'to be considered for removal'. We'll do the proper checks
later.

This allows TARGET_ARCH_VARIANT to be set by the vendor before we choose the
architecture in core/combo/select.mk.
Also add a primitive armv7-a.mk for turning on hardware floating point.
