ARM's Cortex chips have an 0xC in the range [16:12] so they never match this entry, but Qualcomm's Scorpion and Krait processors never set these bits to anything besides 0 so they always match. Skip this entry if we've compiled in support for v7 CPUs. This allows kernel decompression to happen nearly instantly instead of taking over 20 seconds.
