I forget what the situation with v6-m is, and whether/how it could be
supportable. Is it really thumb1 or some thumb2 subset that fills
deficiencies? My recollection was that thumb1 lacks atomics, barriers,
thread-pointer loading, and maybe even syscalls, and since the
kuser_helper addresses are arm addresses, you can't even use them to
get the missing functionality.
