  Since GLIBC requires a minimum 2.6.32 kernel, the patch cleanups
the ARM ioperm by removing pre-2.4.23 kernel support.

Looks good.  Please check that in.

The patch looks fine, but I found something else about the code here:

I notice that the contents of that file only deal with a single ARMv4
platform, and very few of those machines are still in use with
new software.

Would it make sense to build this code only when targeting an ARMv4
system, as opposed to ARMv5 or ARMv7?

The functions provided by this file (ioperm, iopl, in{b,w,l} and
out{b,w,l}) are part of the ABI and can't be removed. If we don't compile
this file, we should at least provide stubs functions which always fail.

Note also that the libc configure script currently does not try to detect
anything below ARMv6 and considers everything below it as "default".

Thanks for the review, I have just pushed the change.
