[U-Boot] [PATCH 3/4] armv7: Use -march=armv7-a and thereby enable Thumb-2

Enable -march=armv7-a for armv7 platforms if the tool-chain
supports it. This in turn results in Thumb-2 code generated
for these platforms if CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD is enabled.

I believe armv7-a is fine for all the SoCs except Tegra2
and I see that Tegra2 is already making the necessary
exception in .../armv7/tegra2/config.mk

Let me know if any other SoC has a problem with armv7-a

Changes from RFC to V1:
- Enabled armv7-a from armv7/config.mk instead of from
  omap config.mk files
