Removing ARM_WANT_TP_ADDRESS hack?

What is the story behind ARM_WANT_TP_ADDRESS?

It's defined right now in some kernel configs, which
implies that it's a system-specific configuration.

But as far as I can tell from the code, it's really a CPU-specific
setting that should always be enabled for < armv6.

Any objections to replacing

#ifdef ARM_WANT_TP_ADDRESS

with

#if … < armv6 …

(I'm working on a clean way to do the latter.)

I think this would simply eliminate ARM_WANT_TP_ADDRESS
from the codebase.
