Dave Martin 540b573875 ARM: 6999/1: head, zImage: Always Enter the kernel in ARM state 
Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not
explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or
Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2
kernels.  As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage
decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction
set state.

This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to
be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered
in ARM.

Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy.

A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when
support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support
the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that
the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.
