[PATCH, GCC, AARCH64] Add support for +profile extension
This patch adds support for the Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE) on
AArch64. Even though the compiler will not generate code any differently
given this extension, it will need to pass it on to the assembler in
order to let it correctly assemble inline asm containing accesses to the
extension's system registers. The same applies when using the
preprocessor on an assembly file as this first must pass through cc1.
I left the hwcaps string for SPE empty as the kernel does not define a
feature string for this extension. The current effect of this is that
driver will disable profile feature bit in GCC. This is OK though
because we don't, nor do we ever, enable this feature bit, as codegen is
not affect by the SPE support and more importantly the driver will still
pass the extension down to the assembler regardless.
