[ARM] 3107/3: ARM EABI: last bits to configure it
Patch from Nicolas Pitre
This adds the configuration option, and disables any FPA floating point
emulators which are not EABI compatible.
It also disables Acorn RISC OS/Arthur binary support when CONFIG_EABI=y
since it is incompatible with an EABI kernel.

+ bool "Use the ARM EABI to compile the kernel"
+ help
+ This option allows for the kernel to be compiled using the latest
+ ARM ABI (aka EABI). This is only useful if you are using a user
+ space environment that is also compiled with EABI.
+
+ Since there are major incompatibilities between the legacy ABI and
+ EABI, especially with regard to structure member alignment, this
+ option also changes the kernel syscall calling convention to
+ disambiguate both ABIs and allow for backward compatibility support
+ (selected with CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT).
+
+ To use this you need GCC version 4.0.0 or later.
