There is one HW problem with thumb on N900: thumb mode is buggy
and thumb compiled applications crashing. But finaly last month
we found solution for this problem. Errata 430973 workaround,
calling uboot function omap3_emu_romcode_call for setting IBE bit
in AUX CR. So now Ubuntu (which is thumb compiled) booting and
working.

So for using thumb mode on N900 we first need to call first that
function. It is possible to build u-boot in some mixed mode (some
parts in arm and some in thumb)? Now omap3_emu_romcode_call is
called from misc_init_r rx51 board code.
