It is, as per the PC pointer above. I don't know anything about arm assembler,
much less about its behavior with THUMB code.

Good question. My primary guess is that this never worked. As I said,
this was just intended to be informational, (probably) no reason to bother.

Of course one might ask if it makes sense to even keep the arm nommu code
in the kernel, but that is of course a different question. I do wonder though
if anyone but me is running it.
