I don’t think this is relevant for M-mode, and really the spec is
inaccurate. The point is that it must be able to look before and after
the ebreak to check that it’s a semihosting sequence but that there’s a
risk of a page fault if you straddle a page boundary. However, in
M-mode we don’t have paging enabled, even though this is a system that
supports (and, at less-privileged modes, uses) paging.

Even if the sequence were required to not cross a page boundary, this
is not a good way to do it, as aligning the function to 256 bytes is
rather overkill in practice (whilst not strictly guaranteed to even be
sufficient). If you want to take the non-inlineable function approach
it should be written in raw assembly, not C with inline assembly in the
function, so that you can be much more precise with the alignment. That
or don’t make the function inlineable and instead put the align
directive in the inline assembly snippet.
