The purpose of CONFIG_CPU_32v3 is to avoid ldrh/strh on the RiscPC,
which is pretty much an ARMv4 device, except its bus will choke on the
half-words. The way to make the C compiler not output ldrh/strh is with
-march=armv3, which doesn't support them in the ISA. However, this
prevents certain cryptography code from working that uses instructions
like umull. Fortunately there's also -march=armv3m that does support
those, making it possible to continue assembling optimized cryptography
routines for our beloved RiscPC.

Notes:
This commit has been submitted to the proper ARM tree and is working its
way upstream. It's included in this series here so that kbuild 0-day bot
doesn't get too nervous about RiscPC, but is already entering the tree
through arm-next.
