Not ok.

+/* Targets that don't support accessing volatile memory inside IT
block.  */
+#define TARGET_NO_VOLATILE_CE		(arm_tune_cortex_m7)

Please don't create feature bits that explicitly test for a particular
target.  Instead, define generic 'features' and then arrange for either
the architecture tables, or tuning tables (as appropriate) to enable
that feature.

See how arm_arch_arm_hwdiv is defined for how to do this.
