I see what's causing this: the kuser helpers are using "bx lr" to return
which will be undefined on non-Thumb CPUs.  We generally cope fine with
non-Thumb CPUs, conditionalising where necessary on HWCAP_THUMB or the
T bit in the PSR being set.

However, it looks like the kuser helpers got missed.  As a check, please
look at arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S, find the line with:

	.macro	usr_ret, reg

and ensure that the mov pc, \reg case always gets used.  Please report
back.

Thanks.
