Two files that get included when building the multi_v7_defconfig target
fail to build when selecting THUMB2_KERNEL for this configuration.

In both cases, we can just build the file as ARM code, as none of its
symbols are exported to modules, so there are no interworking concerns.
In the iwmmxt.S case, add ENDPROC() declarations so the symbols are
annotated as functions, resulting in the linker to emit the appropriate
mode switches.

Removing minimal support for etb/etm to favour an implementation
that is more flexible, extensible and capable of handling more
platforms.

Also removing the only client of the old driver.  That code can
easily be replaced by entries for etb/etm in the device tree.

<title>arm: perf: factor out callchain code</title>

<content type='text'>
The ARM callchain handling code is currently bundled with the ARM PMU
management code, despite the two having no dependency on each other.
This bundling has the unfortunate property of making callchain handling
depend on CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS, even though the callchain handling
could be applied to software events in the absence of PMU hardware
support.

This patch separates the two, placing the callchain handling in
perf_callchain.c and making it depend on CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS rather than
CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS, enabling callchain recording on kernels built
without hardware perf event support.

Some Marvell PJ4B CPUs also implement iWMMXt extensions. With a
