I've had a patch for 32-bit Thumb instructions displaced stepping in my
local tree, and planed to submit once `16-bit' patch is approved.

So, my plan is,
1. Get "patch 2/3" agreed and approved,
2. Revise "patch 3/3" per your comments in last mail, and "patch 2/3".
3. Revise patch for `32-bit' thumb instructions in my local tree, and
submit.
