This patch makes it possible to enter zImage in Thumb mode for ARMv7M
(Cortex-M) CPUs that does not support ARM mode. The kernel entry is
also made in Thumb mode.

Hi,
Updated patch with comments from Uwe Kleine-König.
Changes
v4: Preserve r1/r2. Add comment about class A/R.
v3: Use defines for ARMv7M CPU registers.
v2: Introduce AR_CLASS/M_CLASS macros. This reduces the amount
of ifdefs needed in compressed/head.S.
Successfully tested on NXP LPC4357 (Cortex-M4).
regards,
Joachim Eastwood
