I think that PROBES_MOV_HALFWORD should be used, for MOVW and MOVT.
Currently those instructions use PROBES_DATA_PROCESSING_IMM which,
whilst it will work it ends up using a less efficient emulation routine
than necessary.

The other unused actions, PROBES_SEV and PROBES_WFE, could possibly be
removed as redundant, but there are are Thumb equivalents for those
which are used, so for symmetry I think we should use them. That will
let us remove PROBES_EMULATE_NONE and PROBES_SIMULATE_NOP.

So how about the following patch instead...

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: probes: Use correct action types for MOVW, SEV and WFI

This doesn't correct any bugs when probing these instructions but makes
MOVW slightly faster and makes everything more symmetric with the Thumb
instruction cases.

We can also remove the now redundant PROBES_EMULATE_NONE and
PROBES_SIMULATE_NOP actions.
