Greg reported that commit 3c24121039 ("ARM: 8756/1: NOMMU: Postpone
MPU activation till __after_proc_init") is causing breakage for the
old Versatile platform in no-MMU mode (with out-of-tree patches):
AS arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.o
arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.S:180: Error: selected processor does not support `isb' in ARM mode
scripts/Makefile.build:417: recipe for target 'arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.o' failed
make[2]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.o] Error 1
Makefile:1034: recipe for target 'arch/arm/kernel' failed
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel] Error 2
Since the code is common for all NOMMU builds usage of the isb was a
bad idea (please, note that isb also used in MPU related code which is
fine because MPU has dependency on CPU_V7/CPU_V7M), instead use more
robust instr_sync assembler macro.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
