That would mean an actual change to the code. See, there's no Kconfig
symbol CPU_HAS_LLSC since v2.6.32. This means that CONFIG_CPU_HAS_LLSC
has not been defined ever since and that SEAD3 has been having
cpu_has_llsc set to 0 for some time now. My patch just removes dead
code.

Perhaps SEAD3 need cpu_has_llsc set to 1. I wouldn't know. Anyhow, that
should be done in another patch, with (runtime) testing, etc.
