ARM: 8800/1: use choice for kernel unwinders
While in theory multiple unwinders could be compiled in, it does
not make sense in practise. Use a choice to make the unwinder
selection mutually exclusive and mandatory.
Already before this commit it has not been possible to deselect
FRAME_POINTER. Remove the obsolete comment.
Furthermore, to produce a meaningful backtrace with FRAME_POINTER
enabled the kernel needs a specific function prologue:
mov ip, sp
stmfd sp!, {fp, ip, lr, pc}
sub fp, ip, #4
To get to the required prologue gcc uses apcs and no-sched-prolog.
This compiler options are not available on clang, and clang is not
able to generate the required prologue. Make the FRAME_POINTER
config symbol depending on !clang.
