Hello,

As reported in the bug
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24642, in arm.cc the
code that permits v5t interworking instructions is missing a case for
TAG_CPU_ARCH_V8 and the various V8_M mainline and baseline. This
results in less efficient code in armv8 cpus to use v4t stubs. This
patch is an effort to fix it and change the condition to allow any cpu
architectures above armv7.
