Most ARM cores switch unconditionally to ARM mode when an exception occurs;
a few (Cortex) variants have a "Thumb-exception enable" bit in the system
control register that allows an unconditional switch to Thumb mode instead
when handling exceptions.  The presence of this bit seems unrelated to the 
version of instruction set, so seems sensible to handle it as yet another
ARM feature?
Also added four V4T ARM CPU definitions - 720T, 920T, 922T and 940T.

What is the earliest ARM ARM the bit appears in?

This should be at least three patches. One to add the new ARM_FEATURE,
then one to add the feature to existing CPUs (A9 and firends), then
add the new CPUs you want. For acceptance you also need to sign off
the patch(es) with your real name and email. Git config --global
user.name and user.email and pass the -s flag to git commit. You also
need to fix your sending email.

What is your use case for the new CPUs? do you use these CPUs with a
particular board?

As far as I can tell, it only appears in Cortex cores - don't know which 
of these is the earliest.  920T and 940T use bit 30 of SCTLR for 
"not-FastBus", a feature completely unrelated to Thumb-exception.

Seriously, >=3 patches? Could we live with two (one to add the V4 CPUs, 
one to properly implement Thumb-exception on just the Cortex CPUs)?

OK, my mistake - first time using git-send-email.

My immediate use-case was to run some test/example code written for a 
920T, to compare QEMU against SoCLib; seemed sensible to add other 
common V4 cores at the same time.
