The kernel selection for crunch only sets the CRUNCH_ENABLE bit in ep93xx 
DEVICE_CONFIG, and turns on the code that does 'the right thing' wrt context 
switches & crunch instructions in user apps.  

If you try to run an app with crunch instructions on a kernel without crunch 
enabled, you'll get an illegal instruction message.  (Or something ...)
