Hello Oza,

I really appreciate your work on arm process record and I am trying to 
improve on the work you have done previously. I have sent 3 patches 
upstream which include basic support for Thumb32 instructions and 
system call instructions along with some fixes.

There were around 1500 failures in gdb.reverse on arm that have been 
significantly reduced. Here is a current status of gdb.reverse test 
suite on arm targets:

arm-native configuration:
# of expected passes		2253
# of unexpected failures	71

arm-remote configuration:
# of expected passes		2142
# of unexpected failures	122

I am currently working on patches to fix above unexpected failures and 
also working on supporting co-processor and other unsupported 
instruction types.
