As Arnd points out:
gcc-4.8 already supported -march=armv8, and we require gcc-5.1 now, so
both this #if/#else construct and the corresponding
"cc32-option,-march=armv8-a" check should be obsolete now.

Binutils added support for this instruction in commit
e797f7e0b2bedc9328d4a9a0ebc63ca7a2dbbebc which shipped in 2.24 (just
missing the 2.23 release) but was cherry-picked into 2.23 in commit
27a50d6755bae906bc73b4ec1a8b448467f0bea1. Thanks to Christian and Simon
for helping me with the patch archaeology.
According to Documentation/process/changes.rst, the minimum supported
version of binutils is 2.23. Since all supported versions of GAS support
this instruction, drop the assembler invocation, preprocessor
flags/guards, and the cross assembler macro that's now unused.
This also avoids a recursive self reference in a follow up cleanup
patch.

Older versions of binutils (prior to 2.24) do not support the "ISHLD"
option for memory barrier instructions, which leads to a build failure
when assembling the vdso32 library.
Add a compilation time mechanism that detects if binutils supports those
instructions and configure the kernel accordingly.

Remove the deprecated (pre-ARMv7) compat barriers as they would not be used
on an ARMv8 system.

Provide the arm64 compat (AArch32) vDSO in kernel/vdso32 in a similar
way to what happens in kernel/vdso.
The compat vDSO leverages on an adaptation of the arm architecture code
with few changes:
- Use of lib/vdso for gettimeofday
- Implement a syscall based fallback
- Introduce clock_getres() for the compat library
- Implement trampolines
- Implement elf note
To build the compat vDSO a 32 bit compiler is required and needs to be
specified via CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO.
The code is not yet enabled as other prerequisites are missing.
