boot: Ensure ARM UEFI binary does not contain FP/SIMD instructions
ARM toolchains will sometimes optimize otherwise floating-point-free
code with floating point and SIMD instructions. This was happening with
systemd-bootarm.efi and it was causing U-Boot to crash and reset the
CPU. U-Boot does not support the ARM VFP floating point coprocessor,
which is an optional piece of hardware anyway [1].
Ensure the compiler does not generate FP/SIMD instructions by supplying
the `-mgeneral-regs-only` option when building for ARM [2].
The other option you often see to solve these problems is
`-msoft-float`, but that changes the ABI and prevents linking with
libgnuefi.
