This is a step in the wrong direction. This should all be runtime handled

NAK.
AFAIK you can't build a arm kernel that support arm6/armv7 and armv5.
And I am not sure it will be possible one day.
There are no plans to ever make it possible; there are too many significant
differences between ARMv4, v5 architectures and ARMv6,v7 architectures
to warrant making this runtime selectable.
Then bury this crap in platform files please not in the drivers/tty layer
code. Make it a platform driver provided callback or something.
