This needs to be re-formatted using the correct ChangeLog style, which
is in most cases
* <filename> (<function-or-macro-name>): <Summary of change>.
You can repeat for multiple functions in the same file, but leave off
the "* <filename>" part as long as they are contiguous in the log.

This simply doesn't make much sense, at least, not enough to make it
generally available. It seems it would be invariably wrong to replace a
conditional instruction in arm/thumb2 code with a non-conditional flag
setting instruction in thumb1. So please don't do this as it's likely
to be a source of bugs going forwards if folk don't understand exactly
when it is safe.

OK - I think this is now set unconditionally at the top level.

I'm not really sure what you reasoning is for removing the *FUNC_START
macros and then adding almost identical macros of the form *FUNC_ENTRY.
It seems to me like unnecessary churn.

It's often wrong to assume the section is correctly aligned on entry -
so removing this is suspect, unless you're adding explicit alignment
before every function instance. I know the issue of litterals in the
code segments is currently still under discussion; but if they do exist,
they have to be 32-bit aligned because the thumb1 adr instruction will
not work correctly otherwise. Arm code must always be (at least) 32-bit
aligned, and thumb code 16-bit - but there are often significant
performance wins from being more aligned than that on entry.

This, and all the subsequent instances of this change would go away if

I think .force_thumb is required to enable this code to build when the
base architecture is ARMv4 or earlier. It's a bit of a wart, but needs
careful testing if it is to be removed.
