[PATCH] boost.inc: limit ARM_INSTRUCTION_SET over-rides to armv4/armv5

[PATCH] boost.inc: limit ARM_INSTRUCTION_SET over-rides to armv4/armv5

[Andre McCurdy]

The original over-ride dates back to 2009:

  http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=43e94412c45b4b79485a64010c76d89b245bb235

There are no obvious issues seen now when building boost in thumb2
for Cortex A15.

Conceptually, this patch has the same armv6 problem as the glib-2.0 one
I mentioned earlier.  But actually, boost seems to compile just fine as
Thumb-1 for armv5te, so I suspect that in this case the override is
just plain obsolete and could safely be deleted altogether.
