Many of the core ARM kernel files are not modules, but just
including module.h for exporting symbols. Now these files can
use the lighter footprint export.h for this role.
There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-*
don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build. They will have
to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

Our SET_PERSONALITY() implementation was overwriting all existing
personality flags, including ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, making them unavailable
to processes being exec'd after a call to personality() in user space.
This prevents the gdb test suite from running successfully.

This reverts commit 14f0aa3593.
That commit was needed earlier because system call restarting for
OABI (compat) required an executable stack and thus had problems
with NX. Since ab72b00734 ("ARM: Fix signal restart issues
with NX and OABI compat") has reworked the code to not require an
executable stack anymore, we can re-enable NX support for kernels
with OABI (compat) support.

Our signal syscall restart handling for these kernels still uses
the userspace stack to build code for restarting the syscall.
Unfortunately, fixing this is non-trivial, and so for the time
being, we resolve the problem by disabling NX support.

READ_IMPLIES_EXEC must be set when:
o binary _is_ an executable stack (i.e. not EXSTACK_DISABLE_X)
o processor architecture is _under_ ARMv6 (XN bit is supported from ARMv6)

2.6.28-rc tightened up the ELF architecture checks on ARM. For
non-EABI it only allows VFP if the hardware supports it. However,
the kernel fails to also inspect the soft-float flag, so it
incorrectly rejects binaries using soft-VFP.
The fix is simple: also check that EF_ARM_SOFT_FLOAT isn't set
before rejecting VFP binaries on non-VFP hardware.

Add support for detecting non-executable stack binaries, and adjust
permissions to prevent execution from data and stack areas. Also,
ensure that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is enabled for older CPUs where that
is true, and for any executable-stack binary.
