Weather you like it or not, ARM1176 is ARMv6 with a v7 MMU bolted on,
so reporting it as ARMv6 is the correct thing to do. Also we use the
same detection logic to decide about which cache functions to use and
ARMv6 K/Z still need the ARMv6 cache functions instead of the ARMv7
ones.

The MMU versions is about the least interesting features of those CPUs
as far as Barebox is concerned.
