Martin Jansa e9b2ffc0fe feature-arm-{neon,vfp}.inc: refactor and fix issues
* respect all 4 vfp options ('vfp', 'vfpv3d16', 'vfpv3', 'vfpv4') when
  setting -mfloat-abi and ARMPKGSFX_EABI, without this change it wasn't
  possible to use call-convention hard together with vfpv4
* move 'vfpv3d16', 'vfpv3', 'vfpv4' support from
  feature-arm-vfp.inc
  to
  feature-arm-neon.inc
  the main difference is that feature-arm-vfp.inc is included in
  arch-armv5.inc while feature-arm-neon.inc only in armv7*.inc, so
  these options should be added to TUNEVALID also only for armv7*
  MACHINEs.
* support vfpv4 with or without neon
  when both vfpv4 and neon are in TUNE_FEATURES we want to set only one
  -mfpu parameter and to neon-vfpv4
* prevent multiple appends to ARMPKGSFX_FPU, we don't want to include
  e.g. -vfp as well as -vfpv4 when both "vfp" and "vfpv4" are in
  TUNE_FEATURES
* add -mfpu=vfp for tunes with "vfp" in TUNE_FEATURES - before that we
  were only adding -vfp to ARMPKGSFX_FPU
* add TUNE_CCARGS_MFPU variable which is used to set -mfpu parameter as
  well as ARMPKGSFX_FPU suffix in TUNE_PKGARCH, all enabled values are
  appended to it based on TUNE_FEATURES and then the last one is used
  in the actual param and suffix
* this prevents multiple -mfpu options in TUNE_CCARGS

* !!!
  This means we need to change TUNE_PKGARCH and PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS for
  vfpv4, vfpv3d16, vfpv3 tunes, because the -vfp* isn't prependend
  multiple times. If you're using one of these new DEFAULTTUNES (which
  were at least partially broken anyway) and depend on working binary
  package feed upgrade-path, then don't forget to migrate PR service
  database to new TUNE_PKGARCH.

  • Initial Revision

The ARM architecture definitions are split among a number of files. The primary definitions for the variables are handled by the core arch-arm.inc file.

TUNE_ARCH is set to either "arm" or "armeb" depending on the value of the existence of the "bigendian" feature in a given tune.

A small set of ARM specific variables have been defined to allow TUNE_PKGARCH to be automatically defined. Optimized tunings must NOT change the definiton of TUNE_PKGARCH. TUNE_PKGACH_tune- will be ignored. The format of the package arch is enforced by the TUNE_PKGARCH default. The format must be of the form: [t][e][hf][b][-vfp][-neon]

TUNE_PKGARCH is defined as: ${ARMPKGARCH}${ARMPKGSFX_THUMB}${ARMPKGSFX_DSP}${ARMPKGSFX_EABI}${ARMPKGSFX_ENDIAN}${ARMPKGSFX_FPU}

ARMPKGARCH - This is the core package arch component specified by each tuning. This is the primary identifier of a tuning. Usual values are: arm, armv4, armv5, armv6, armv7a, etc.

ARMPKGSFX_THUMB - This is the thumb specific suffix. Curently it is defined in feature-arm-thumb.inc.

ARMPKGSFX_DSP - This is the DSP specific suffix. Currently this is set to 'e' when on armv5 and the dsp feature is enabled.

ARMPKGSFX_EABI - This is the eabi specific suffix. There are currently two defined ABIs specificed, standard EABI and Hard Float (VFP) EABI.
When the callconvention-hard is enabled, "hf" is specified, otherwise it is blank.

ARMPKGSFX_ENDIAN - This is the endian specific suffix. It is defined in the core arch-arm.inc file.

ARMPKGSFX_FPU - This is the FPU specific suffix. The suffix indicates specific FPU optimizations. 'vfp' and 'neon' are both defined.
