Hi ,

This patch turns on hot cold partitioning for the ARM target. Given that
NOTE_INSN_SWITCH_SECTIONS gets created once - we should see
that this works.

Passed testing with cross on qemu - Simple handwritten tests for this
appear to work.

I'll commit this for 4.8 and would like some feedback for this.

regards,
Ramana

	* config/arm/arm.c (arm_option_override): Allow hot cold
	partitioning.
	(arm_reorg): Handle NOTE_INSN_SWITCH_TEXT_SECTIONS.
