Some platforms always enter the kernel in the ARM state even if
the kernel is compiled for THUMB2. Add a small wrapper on top of
cpu_resume() that switches into THUMB2 state.

This fixes a problem reported by Kevin Hilman on next-20150601
where the ifc6410 fails to boot a THUMB2 kernel because the
platform's firmware always enters the kernel in ARM mode from
deep idle states.

I think this bit of the commit message isn't quite correct: this will
only resolve the boot problem with a T2 kernel when the failing platform
is converted to use the cpu_resume_arm() entry point.

Apart from that, the patch looks good to me, thanks.

Sure, it could say "This provides the functionality to fix a problem
reported by..."
