ARM: 8477/1: runtime patch udiv/sdiv instructions into __aeabi_{u}idiv()
The ARM compiler inserts calls to __aeabi_idiv() and __aeabi_uidiv() when it needs to perform division on signed and unsigned integers. If a processor has support for the sdiv and udiv instructions, the kernel may overwrite the beginning of those functions with those instructions and a "bx lr" to get better performance. To ensure that those functions are aligned to a 32-bit word for easier patching (which might not always be the case in Thumb mode) and that the two patched instructions end up in the same cache line, a 8-byte alignment is enforced when ARM_PATCH_IDIV is selected. This was heavily inspired by a previous patch from Stephen Boyd.
