arm: ARM_VIRT_EXT is not supported by all v7 platforms, so it shouldnot be enabled by default

introduced in kernel 3.9 CONFIG_ARM_VIRT_EXT is default for all V7 arm
cpu's. this is wrong and breaks smp support on BCM4708 for example.
so keep it optional since no all v7 cpu's seem to support it. BCM4708
for instance is a arm cortex-a9. please merge this into one of the next
patches.
