  Hi Amara

  Two technical quibbles with Cortex-M4. The rest of the changes are good.

----------------
Why do we need to make a special case of cortex-m4 here? Surely the v7E_M architecture is distinguishable from v7_M by the presence of the DSP functions. I think that this case can be added into the switch case below. The current implementation will give the wrong answer for -mcpu=Swift.

----------------
IIUC the current behavior is to that armv6m/thumbv6m on the clang commandline generates v6S_M objects because LLVM is not able to generate v6M. If so, I agree that this is the correct wrong thing to do for now.

This value should be 6, as Cortex-M4 VFP is single-precision only.
