So, is this a known bug?

We code like this because
- we didn't find this restriction in arm reference manual
- the LLVM uses this instruction expecting a result like this
- That was the result that we got running these instructions in an OMAP1710

Another thing, is that in this manual (at page A2-18) there are 2
rules for data abort:
- Base Restored Abort Model and Base Updated Abort Model.

So, we can not understand why it will give incorect results if a load faults...
