[PATCH 2/2] ARM: rust: Enable Rust support for ARMv5TE

[Karl Mehltretter]

HAVE_RUST is currently selected for CPU_32v7 only. The
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi target used for ARMv7 emits ARMv6
instructions (+v6), so it cannot be used for ARMv5. Use rustc's
built-in armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi target instead. It keeps the
Linux EABI (no short enums, unlike the -none-eabi targets) and is
soft-float and strict-align.

Kernels that also contain ARMv4 or ARMv4T CPUs are built for the
lowest architecture and stay excluded. CPU_32v5 also covers the ARMv5T
ARM1020. C code is already built with -march=armv5te there, so Rust
matches.

The kernel crate implements atomics through the C helpers rather than
core::sync::atomic, so the missing atomic instructions on ARMv5 do not
matter. The only gap was the 2-byte xchg() added by "ARM: cmpxchg:
support 2-byte xchg() on pre-ARMv6 CPUs".

core::sync::atomic types up to 32 bits still compile on this target,
but LLVM lowers them to __sync_* libcalls which the kernel does not
provide. Nothing in the tree uses them. Such code would fail to link
on ARMv5 while it links on ARMv7.

Tested on v7.3-rc1 with clang 22.1.8, rustc 1.99.0 and bindgen 0.73.2
in QEMU versatilepb and on a Microchip SAM9X75 Curiosity board (both
ARM926EJ-S). The Rust samples, all Rust KUnit suites and the doctests
pass.
