ARM: virt: hide CONFIG_ARM_VIRT_EXT from user
ARM_VIRT_EXT is a property of CPU_V7, but does not adversely affect
other CPUs that can be built into the same kernel image (i.e. ARMv6+).
This patch defaults ARM_VIRT_EXT to y if CPU_V7, allowing hypervisors
such as KVM to make better use of the option and being able to rely
on hyp-mode boot support.
