[PATCH v3 6/6] ARM: rust: Build Rust code for ARMv7 on ARMv7 kernels

[Karl Mehltretter]

The arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi target builds ARMv6 code, so ARMv7 kernels
cannot use ARMv7 instructions in Rust code.

Use armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi when C is built with -march=armv7-a. The
target uses the soft-float EABI with NEON disabled and permits unaligned
word and halfword accesses, matching C on MMU-enabled ARMv7 kernels. A
kernel that also contains an ARMv6K CPU is built with -march=armv6k and
keeps the generic target.

In the tested Raspberry Pi 400 configuration, Rust text grows by 1.9%.
Six small benchmarks range from 10% shorter to 5% longer runtimes.

Tested on a Raspberry Pi 400 (Cortex-A72, LPAE) with clang 22.1.8 and in
QEMU virt (Cortex-A15) with the minimum tool versions. Rust modules load
with the movw/movt relocations.
