Would it make sense to tie this check to the ARMv6K architecture level?

I see that cpu_architecture currently reports the same value for plain
ARMv6 (1136r0) and for ARMv6K (1136r1+ or any other ARM11), but we already
distinguish them at compile time in a number of places and it seems you
make the exact same distinction here at runtime.
