Please add a comment as to why NO_THUMB is being set.  C.f. the other
uses of that macro within sysdeps/arm/.  (It's the negative offsets
for memories as I recall, but that won't be obvious from this file.)

This is going to fail for NaCl, defining ARM_ALWAYS_BX.  I'm not quite
sure all of what needs to be done to fix that.  I'm sure Roland will
have some advice...

Perhaps the answer is "nothing" and NaCl should be vectored back to the
non-ifunc version of the code.
