I don't think we should remove this function -- there are a number
of checks we should be making here for correct behaviour to
ensure that the guest hasn't passed us a bogus CPSR. Compare
the kernel's version of this function:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.14.5/arch/arm/include/asm/ptrace.h#L46
We basically want all those checks (except we can drop the
ones related to 26-bit CPUs and M-profile). We don't need to
implement them in this series but we shouldn't remove the function
and code path which are the right places to add them later.
thanks
