The following commit breaks OMAP2420 booting

git bisect bad
15490ef8ff8fd22d677cb5d4f6a98e5a79118dba is the first bad commit

   ARM: Avoid building unsafe kernels on OMAP2 and MX3

   OMAP2 (armv6) and MX3 turn off support for the V6K instructions, which
   when they include support for SMP kernels means that the resulting
   kernel is unsafe on SMP and can result in corrupted filesystems as we
   end up using unsafe bitops.

   Re-enable the use of V6K instructions on such kernels, and let such
   kernels running on V6 CPUs eat undefined instruction faults which will
   be much safer than filesystem corruption.  Next merge window we can fix
   this properly (as it requires a much bigger set of changes.)
