We might be running on an ARMv6+ processor which should have the TLS
register but for some reason we can't use it, or maybe an SMP system
using a pre-ARMv6 processor (there are apparently a few prototypes
like that in existence) and therefore access to that register must
be emulated.

This selects support for the CP15 thread register.
It is defined to be available on ARMv6 or later. If a particular
ARMv6 or later CPU doesn't support it then it must include "select
TLS_REG_EMUL" along with its other characteristics.
It is defined to be available on some ARMv6 processors (including
all SMP capable ARMv6's) or later processors. User space may
assume directly accessing that register and always obtain the
expected value only on ARMv7 and above.
