Looks like is_valid_bugaddr() might need fixing too?

That will need __mem_to_opcode_thumb16() or __mem_to_opcode_arm()
depending on CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL.

Could use __opcode_thumb32_compose(), in which case it might look like

			if (is_wide_instruction(instr)) {
				unsigned int instr2 = __mem_to_opcode_thumb16(
					((u16 *)pc)[1]);
				instr = __opcode_thumb32_compose(instr, instr2);

(Hmmm, I just noticed that is_wide_instruction and __opcode_is_thumb16()
kinda duplicate each other.  Could change that too, but it would look
more like pointless churn...  is_wide_instruction() is used in a fair
few places already.)

This also needs mem-to-opcode'ing.
