rS326166: Set CP15BEN in SCTLR to make memory barriers work in 32-bit mode.
Summary

Binaries generated by Clang for ARMv6 may contain these instructions:

MCR p15, 0, <Rd>, c7, c10, 5

These instructions are deprecated as of ARMv7, which is why modern
processors have a way of toggling support for them. On FreeBSD/arm64 we
currently disable support for these instructions, meaning that if 32-bit
executables would be run, they would crash with SIGILL. This is likely
not what we want.

Test Plan

This change, and others, allow me to properly run CloudABI
executables for ARMv6 and ARMv7 on FreeBSD/arm64.

Are we expecting to run armv6 code, or should we just support armv7?

In the case of CloudABI I'd like to run ARMv6 code as well.
