NAK on all this.  The fact that you're having to add CPU_V7VE at all
sites which have CPU_V7 shows that this is a totally broken way of
approaching this.

Make CPU_V7VE be an _add-on_ to CPU_V7.  In other words, when CPU_V7VE
is enabled, CPU_V7 should also be enabled, just like we do for CPU_V6K.

Note that v7M is different because that's not an add-on feature, it's
a different CPU class from (what should be) v7A.
