SubjectRe: [RFC/PATCH 0/3] ARM: Use udiv/sdiv for __aeabi_{u}idiv library functions

That's not all. The bigger problem is that there are toolchains out
there which accept these options, but do _not_ support IDIV in either
ARM or Thumb mode. I'm afraid that makes it impossible to add this
feature to the mainline kernel in this form: we need to run a test
build to check that -march=armv7ve or what-not really does work
through both GCC and GAS.

Given that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS suffers with this, it's something that
must be resolved.
