David Lechner 3446d440f6 shared/runtime/gchelper: Drop cpu directive from ARM asm helpers.
This drops the `.cpu` directive from the ARM gchelper_*.s files.  Having
this directive breaks the linker when targeting older CPUs (e.g. `-mthumb
-mthumb-interwork` for `-mcpu=arm7tdmi`).  The actual target CPU should be
determined by the compiler options.

The exact CPU doesn't actually matter, but rather the supported assembly
instruction set.  So the files are renamed to *_thumb1.s and *thumb2.s to
indicate the instruction set support instead of the CPU support.

This is experimental, community-supported port for Cortex-M emulation as provided by QEMU (http://qemu.org).

The purposes of this port are to enable:

  1. Continuous integration
    • run tests against architecture-specific parts of code base
  2. Experimentation
    • simulation & prototyping of anything that has architecture-specific code
    • exploring instruction set in terms of optimising some part of MicroPython or a module
  3. Streamlined debugging
    • no need for JTAG or even an MCU chip itself
    • no need to use OpenOCD or anything else that might slow down the process in terms of plugging things together, pressing buttons, etc.

This port will only work with the [GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain]( https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads and not with CodeSourcery toolchain. You will need to modify LDFLAGS if you want to use CodeSourcery's version of arm-none-eabi. The difference is that CodeSourcery needs -T generic-m-hosted.ld while ARM's version requires --specs=nano.specs --specs=rdimon.specs to be passed to the linker.

To build and run image with builtin testsuite:

make -f Makefile.test test
