[RFC] Fix omap3 booting with thumb2 compiled kernel

The power management related assembly needs to interact with
ARM mode bootrom code, so we need to keep most of the related
assembly in ARM mode.
Currently we are entering into and ARM mode assembly function
from thumb2 mode, so we need to make sure we switch to ARM
mode. And we need to do that again after the cache flush.

Kevin told me about this earlier today.. Anybody got better ideas
for a fix here?
