Right. I believe that there is more things to do but I would prefer to make small steps first and fix other things later.

For now this patch fixes arm1176jz-s, arm1176jzf-s and armv6k.

The problem is that we have many subtargets and many processors and it is still fuzzy how to link them:

Processors (ARM11):
- arm1126j (never seen but there is one reference on ARM11 manual)
- arm1136j-s (revision 0)
- arm1136jf-s (revision 0)
- arm1136j-s (revision 1)
- arm1136jf-s (revision 1)
- arm1156t2-s
- arm1156t2f-s
- arm1176jz-s
- arm1176jzf-s
- mpcorenovfp
- mpcore

Subarches:
- v6
- v6j
- v6k
- v6z
- v6kz
- v6t2
- v6core <== guessing a name

My guess of the best map:
- v6 -> arm1126j arm1136j-s (r0) arm1136jf-s (r0)
- v6j -> alias for v6
- v6k -> arm1136j-s (r1) arm1136jf-s (r1); inherits v6; adds HINT 
- v6z -> arm1176jz-s arm1176jzf-s; inherits v6k; adds TRUSTZONE
- v6kz -> alias for v6z
- v6t2 -> arm1156t2-s arm1156t2f-s; inherits v6k; adds THUMB2
- v6core -> mpcorenovfp mpcore; inherits v6k; adds MULTICORE

This does not reflect this patch because:

- I'm ignoring that a arm1136 revisions can be v6k. Hence I'm being really strict in keeping the old behavior of LLVM that is to not allow HINT on this arm1136.
- There is no support for MULTICORE and TRUSTZONE on the backend or I am afraid to use them and break things. Therefore I am merging mpcore and arm1176 as one being.

What do you think? For now I will do as you suggested but would be great to organize this later.
