Did you test anything? These patches do not result in working code;
they just make it assemble without errors. There's already a gas
option to automatically add IT instructions where needed for
thumb-only targets, but that's not the only thing needed to support
thumb-only/cortex-m. I'd be interested in knowing more about the setup
you're trying to target. Is it Linux or bare-metal? If Linux, are you
going to use the ARM/FDPIC toolchain & kernel mods? I'm about to leave
at the moment but I'll follow up with a more detailed review of your
patch later.

That file does not perform any unaligned access. It should work on any
EABI-supported version of the arm instruction set.
