Fix ARMv7 emulation by disabling CPU alignment exceptions
Disable alignment CPU exceptions to be able to boot an ARMv7 system image.
This is because 4.4.0 emits a machine code sequence that stores an 8-bytes double
on a 4-byte aligned address on the stack in the implementation of cvt() in the C
library (see the disassembly for bionic/libc/stdio/vfprintf.c). It is uncertain
that this is a compiler bug at this point, but the upstream QEMU sources don't have
alignment exceptions enabled for any ARM target anyway.
Also, add a check to force CPU emulation to "cortex-a8" if the kernel file name
ends in "-armv7". This is a poor man's approach to hardware configuration that will
be replaced by a more sophisticated solution in the future. Right now, we just want
to be able to build -user system images with the dex preopt pass running in the
emulator with the minimum amount of fuss.
