Yes, I'm aware of that. I think having the IBE bit set in u-boot has
advantages nevertheless. I think the kernel can't enable the bit
sufficiently early if its compiled in thumb-mode itself
(CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).

So I suggest to enable the IBE bit in the kernel (that part is
already done) *and* in u-boot.
