Review comment:
> should we keep the thumb bit?
I don't think that the Thumb bit should be set. This is the saved value of
program counter and should not have bit 0 set. Bit 0 works only for call
instructions (and a few other places in the ISA). We need to double check this.
This is equivalent to the branch:
mov Rx, PC
This just jumps to the address in RX. This is the absolute address version
of the relative branch B instruction. The B and BL instructions and BX and BLX
instructions differ in the instruction "interprets" bit 0 as the Thumb
indication. That thumb indication is NOT written to the PC. The BX and BLX
instructions use to the the Thumb bit in the control/status register. See
https://topic.alibabacloud.com/a/the-difference-between-the-assembly-jump-instruction-b-bl-bx-blx-and-bxj_8_8_10244895.html
. Bit 0 of the PC should never be set and never indicates Thumb mode.
