// build with this level as target, a value which normally corresponds to the
// ARM architecture version number, although it is the floating point hardware
// support which is the decicive factor.
//
// Only relevant for 32-bit ARM architectures, where GOARCH=arm, which means
// ARMv7 and lower (ARMv8 is GOARCH=arm64 and GOARM is not considered).
// Highest possible value is therefore 7, while other possible values are
// 6 (for ARMv6) and 5 (for ARMv5, which is the lowest currently supported
// in go. Returns value 0 for anything else.

// considered or included in results here, but it is included in the output
// from function GetOSVersion. It can have values such as armv6l, armv7l,
// armv8l, arm64 and aarch64, which may give relevant information. But it
// can also simply have value "arm", or it can have value "armv7l" for a
// processor based on ARMv7 but without floating point hardware - which
