With my Kconfig patch, kconfig won't let you turn on Thumb-2 in that
configuration:

http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/lurker/message/20101207.165737.0897658f.en.html

If you want to turn on Thumb-2, you must disable ARCH_OMAP2 first.  If
my understanding is correct, this is the right behaviour.


The kernel builds, fine but in ARM.

I hope that clarifies things...
