Some ARM cores are not capable to run in ARM mode (e.g. Cortex-M3). So
obviously these cannot enter the kernel in ARM mode. Make an exception
for them and let them enter in THUMB mode.

Clearly something like this is necessary, but it isn't something I'd
like for people to start using *unless* they have a THUMB only CPU
(for example, to work around dodgy boot-loaders, etc)

Seeing as there are no THUMB-only CPUs with an MMU, I think we could
safely constrain this change to:
a) depend on !MMU
b) only touch head-nommu.S

Does that cause any issue for what you're doing.

Would be ok for me, too. I don't care much.

Please do so then.  I had the same concern.
