[PATCH 0/4] Consistently enter the kernel in ARM state

[dave.martin@linaro.org (Dave Martin)]

This series rationalises the kernel entry requirements so that
Image is entered in ARM state, just like zImage.

This should enable Image to be booted reliably for Thumb-2 kernels,
just like zImage.

The Booting documentation is updated to describe the requirement:
this resolves the ARM/Thumb ambiguity for Thumb-2 kernels; for ARM
kernels there is no implied change.

Dave Martin (4):
  ARM: head: Always Enter the kernel in ARM state
  ARM: head-nommu: Always enter the kernel in ARM state
  ARM: zImage: Jump to the decompressed kernel entry point in ARM state
  ARM: Documentation: clarify entry requirements for ARM versus Thumb-2
