"AArch32" applies retrospectively to all older versions of the ARM
architecture as well, so it's not obvious to me that a straight rename
of the existing "armv8a" override to "aarch32" would be the right thing
either. 

I think the whole approach to ARMv8 and AArch64 in OE needs to be
carefully thought through before we start landing any patches for that
stuff.  We have a tangled enough maze of overrides right now and I
think we should make all efforts to avoid it getting worse.
