Curious, but how did you spot this?

The naming here is a bit misleading, since T32 is an instruction set
consisting of both 32-bit and 16-bit instructions. For now, you might just
be better off having the caller pass in an immediate directly rather than
add these confusing #defines.

This strikes me as a pretty broadly named function to be exposing like this.
How about: arm64_skip_faulting_instruction instead?
