There are plenty of 32-bit Thumb encodings of various LDR/STR variants,
and I doubt we can guarantee that the offset, target register, and/or
addressing mode for a config space access will *always* suit the
(relatively limited) 16-bit ones.

It might be the case that PLD/PLI, 32-bit thumb2 instructions, could
trigger an abort too.

Preload instructions shouldn't cause a *synchronous* abort, which is what we're trapping here, and they could only result in an asynchronous abort coming back later if the address is mapped as Normal memory, which it really shouldn't be in this case. Frankly either way, anyone even thinking about trying to pull PCI config space into data caches, let alone instruction caches, probably deserves everything they get ;)

Robin.
