[PATCH 2/4] ARM: allow PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR only for ARMv7

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Wed Aug 22 2012 - 10:30:03 EST


When ARMv6 is enabled, we build the kernel with -march=armv6 or
-march=armv6k, which means the bfi instruction is not available.
Instead, it only works with -march=armv6t2 or -march=armv7-a.

Without this patch, building rand-enIHAOL results in:

/tmp/ccwCsCXC.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccwCsCXC.s:49: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `bfi r3,r2,#0,#8'

Enabling this option causes the kernel to write the current PID to
